I cannot thank you enough for this new book. It is truly a work of art. It is obvious that a great deal of care and love went into producing it. As a graphihc designer myself, I know what it took to put something like this together at this high level of quality. You are truly to be commended for a fabulous job. I also enjoyed your humor on the credits page. It is seldom that one person possesses such diverse skills to be able to produce a book of this quality.

Thanks again for feeding one of my obsessions--Plumeria!!! I really enjoyed your book that I purchased yesterday. Spent all last night reading it--superb hardcover reference book!!!

*****

Aloha... want you to know that i love your book " Exotic Plumeria". Such an awesome book. Pictures are just great ! When do you expect the second volume to come out? :)

*****

The only word to describe your book is "SUPERB". Thank you so much for producing such an incredible book for my favorite flower

*****

Me and mom have been by there, recently, and purchased your "Exotic Plumeria, Volume One" book. Definitely a good reference guide. Good work on that one.

*****

Just got my book in the mail today and I have only one word for it FANTASTIC!!!! When is volume 2 coming out, I want to place my order now. I have all the other plumeria books but this one is in a whole other league of its own.

*****

I purchased your book at the Borders on Ala Moana blvd. today and I simply had to write to you to say how much I appreciate the book. I have lived in the islands for the past 20 years and have wondered why no one has done something like this until now. It is a puzzle to me. However, you have now done it and done a superb job. You deserve great success with such a wonderful work.

*****

I just received my new book, The Exotic Plumeria,a pictorial, Volume 1. The photography is fabulous. The large pictures of the flowers appear to be three dimensional. A great piece of work. You are to be commended for a job well done.

*****

I just received my book and boy was it worth the wait. The photography is amazing. Finally there is a book worthy of plumeria. Great job and keep them coming. When can we expect volume 2?

*****

When I heard the price of the book I said - this had better be good! When I got the book I said that was the best $50 I've spent in a long time. As Crocodile Dundee would say "Now that's a BOOK". Awesome, fabulous and any other superlative you can think of to describe this book. I can't wait until volume 2. When will it come out?

Dear Mr. Bunch. I just had to write to you about your new coffee-table book on plumeria I recently purchased. You will note that I have ordered 5 more copies of the book. You see I live in a retirement community and I am the only member of my bridge club that has any yard space at all. They have all raved about your book when they saw it, but they do not have any place for a plumeria tree, so I am going to give them their own copies of the book so they can enjoy your beautiful pictures as much as I have. They can't have the real thing and this is the next best thing to having your own tree. It is even better in the winter when the trees are just sticks and not much to look at. I'll be able to look at the flowers on all of he holidays from now on. Thank you so much for providing me with a means of sharing my love for this wonderful flower with my friends. Naomi Luce
I will also give these as gifts for Christmas and share my favorite flower with everyone I know.

Hello Exotic Plumeria. Rarely do I write e-mails but I just received my copy of your new coffeetable book. There is only one word for it and that is amazing. I just cannot stop looking at all the beautiful large photos. Would it be possible for me to order another book so I could frame some of the pictures? Please advise and I will place emy order immediately. Bernice

*****

Just a note to let you know that I received your book. The book is exceptionally nice. I am very pleased.

*****

I just got the book and I am simply amazed. You are to be highly conmmended for such an exceptional job. It is obvious you have a great love for this flower as I do. Thank you so much for providing such an outstanding addition to the world of plumeria. When is Volume 2 coming out? I will place an order now if I can.

*****

Awesomely beautiful, is the only word for your new book. I cannot thank you enough for producing such an outstandingly beautfiul tribute to my favorite flower. I too, fell in love with them in Hawaii and now I can look at these huge pictures instead of my out of focus snapshots. I hope you do not mind but I have ordered another copy that I am going to cut pictures out of to frame and put on my walls. Thanks, again, Leslie

They just keep coming! This is getting embarassing!


I purchased your book at the Plumeria Society of America's plant sale yesterdy, and I must say that it is without a doubt the most outstanding book ever published on plumeria. I have the other three and this one is head shoulders above the rest. You are to be commended for such a great job for my favorite flower. Finally a book worthy of the name plumeria.

*****

I bought your book at the plant sale in Clear Lake for the Plumeria Society and I simply have not been able to put it down. The photography is without equal. Now I will have something to look at on those dreary days of the year when my trees are dormant. Thank you so much for such a fabulous job.


*****

I just got my copy of your new book in the mail yesterday and I just had to write and say what a "SUPERB" job. This shows that there are still people out there that take great pride in what they do, (you being a good example). This book exudes caring and love for the subject matter. Thanks once again for a great book.
