Book List

Croston Cactus Used Book List 2010 Tel. 01257452555 or email.

The following pre-owned books are offered subject to being unsold. Unless otherwise indicated there is only one copy of each available. Due to purchasing the library of a Euphorbia enthusiast there are lots of specialist books dealing with the Euphorbia family. Prices do not include postage, which will be charged at cost. Please email to reserve & confirm post & packing costs. Alternatively the books can be collected at the nursery, or ordered for delivery at meetings where I am speaking.

Email or telephone if you require more information about the books.
