Hello,

Please also provide your full postal address.

Please note the postage is the cheapest available, and it may take 4-5 weeks for the book to arrive.

So, I will order one. Or maybe I order two because I somtimes forget what is written. And I hope it is not printed too fast as I cannot read quickly.

I'm not sure what to make of this thread. I do see a little humor at the end..
An unsolicited email? Payment made to someone other than the sender?

This is 100% genuine, and I had been expecting the book to be published by Henry Barlow last month. I was involved in advising on Papilionidae, and although I haven't seen proofs I am sure it will be excellent. Yutaka Inayoshi also advised on other butterfly families.

yes Kevin without humor life makes no sense.
Henry Barlow is a known man so there is no problem. Howeverpemperly books also offer it but from there is is 20 EUR more. So I really onder about the Papilionidae Adam was giving advise.

George & Nancy van der Poorten asked me to confirm the correct classification and other advice about Malay Peninsula Papilionidae over a period of about a year. I didn't really have to do very much, just checking the information they gave me was correct and answering a few questions.

George & Nancy van der Poorten are well known authors of butterfly papers and books, particularly on Sri Lanka.
