question about rice books

[jeffery.shen at ccmail.nevada.edu]

Dear Grameners,

I am new faculty member at University of Nevada at Las Vegas.  While I was
a student at Washington University in St. Louis and a Senior Scientist in
Monsanto, I worked on the molecular mechanism of ABA response, mainly in
barley and soybean.  Recently, I am very much interested in rice because of
the availability of its genome sequences. I like to buy a few good books on
rice biology -- anatomy, development, genetics etc.  Someone recommended
the following book to me.

"Science of the rice plant", edited by Takane Matsuo, Yuzo Futsuhara, Fumio
Kikuchi, and Hikoyuki
Yamaguchi. Published in 1997, ISBN4-540-96010-5

However, I couldn't find where in the United States I can purchase this
book.  Please let me know if you know where I can buy this book or you have
other good rice book information.

Thank you very much for your help in advance.

Best regards,
