Topic: I had to smile ...

I just read this paragraph in a free gardening book from the Gutenberg Project called "Home Vegetable Gardening" and found it mildly amusing.

"Another class of garden implements are those used in pruning--but where
this is attended to properly from the start, a good sharp jack-knife
and a pair of pruning shears (the English makes are the best, as they
are in some things, when we are frank enough to confess the truth) will
easily handle all the work of the kind necessary."     {:¬)#

Nice to be appreciated?

The book in question ...I know it's a bit of a pain, but you just have to keep clicking on "Next Page"    {:¬ (

Looks like a useful, but impossible to logically navigate, site.  Silly grouping books according to title - how many gardening books have titles beginning with 'G'.  Should group according to subject.  I would tell them but I cannot find a link - all of those appear to be jumbled together in an unreadable mass at the top of the page.

Totally agree RC, but, better than not being able to read them ?     {:¬)#
