Hello From Borneo - Trying to make contact with admin

[twoton]

Hello all,

until about 10 years ago, I was quite active in this forum. At the time, I lived in Taiwan and had a greenhouse with ca. 300 Nepenthes on my garage top. In 2007 I attended the Sarawak Nepenthes Summit in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysian Borneo, which triggered the decision to move to Borneo so I could visit wild Nepenthes any time I wanted. In 2011 this plan came to fruition, and my family and I spent the following nine years roaming the jungles in Borneo. Apart from carnivorous plants, I soon also developed a strong interest in pretty much everything else the equatorial rainforests had to offer. Eventually, I wrote a humorous, yet informative book about my road to the rainforest and our subsequent encounters with Borneo's enormous biodiversity.

I PM'd the admin "ICPS-bob" for permission to post information about the book here, but haven't heard from him in almost a week. Is there anyone else could I ask?

Thank you very much!

Hans, aka TwoTon

Hi Hans, this forum has a strict non sales policy, so I would say you can announce the book and tell what it is about, post pictures etc. as gerneral information for the group. However, you can't give ordering info, price or direct links to sales.
That is only allowed for sales that have part of the profit go to conservation.

Thank you very much, Marcel, I will do that! Which forum would be best suitable for this post?

Cheers

Hans

Hi Hans,

I would say literature review and discussion.
We have had book announcements there before even if they are not strictly reviews as it is the most suitable category.
An actual literature review is also an option, if you have someone who would do or has done an objective review. Such a review could also be published in CPN (Carnivorous Plant Newsletter) which does that often and is always looking for relevant articles.

Thank you, Marcel! The book will only come out in October, but I'll be sure to post any reviews that will come in before that.
