Dear listers,

I realize that not all members of this list are members of the 
Lepidopterists' Society, but this is the obvious place to put in a plug 
for the Society.  There has been a recent flurry of publishing activity 
about Nabokov.  One additional book has just been published - "Nabokov's 
Butterflies".  This is compendium of unpublished and uncollected 
writings, many dealing with his interest in and travels searching for 
butterflies.  Dmitri Nabokov has translated writings from Russian and 
the volume is edited and annotated by Brian Boyd and Robert Michael 
Pyle.  It is a beautiful book, with large number of illustrations, 
including original drawings by Nabokov and photos of specimens collected 
by Nabokov.  This book is available commercially for $45.

The Lepidopterists' Society is able to offer this book to members 
(current and any new members) for $35 plus $3.50 shipping.  Any members 
that are interested in this offer or others that wish to join the 
society and take advantage of the offer can send payment by check 
(payable to Lepidopterists' Society) to:

Brian Scholtens
710 New Market Dr.
Mt. Pleasant, SC 29464

If you wish to join the society I'll gladly accept your membership 
payment and forward it to the treasurer.  Current dues are $45/year.  
You can also send dues to:

Kelly Richers,
Assistant Treasurer
The Lepidopterists' Society

Bakersfield, CA 93311

Hope everyone has a wonderful summer enjoying lepidoptera.
