Title: vegetable and herb expert book
Post by: debster on June 20, 2007, 13:02:07
I spotted a copy of this book in our local charity shop and bought it, I already have a copy but figured somebody on here may want it. It is not the newest edition 1998 but I can see very little difference to my copy of 2006 however it is in excellent condition doesnt look as it has even been opened. I would like to swap it for some vegetable seeds preferably that could be sown some time this year just to cover the cost of the book and some of the postage. The book cost me 75p not sure what postage would cost but it weighs about 1lb or 450gms. anyone interested it really is in pristeen condition.

I'm surprised this isnt taken... i know its not an organic book but my neighbour bought me it as i keep giving him eggs and plants. Its a really good reference book as far as plant spacings and diseases/pests are concerned.

i guessed most established members would have it thought a newbie might want it as it was so cheap and its so good but ill hold on to it until someone does it was too good a bargain to miss. did wonder if someone with a lottie might want it as a copy to keep on their lottie rather then taking their best copy doesnt apply to me as it takes me 30 seconds to pop indoors for my copy when i want some info

Oh bu**er!..............only just seen this - would so have loved the book. Have got one bought for me by my brother in 2003 when I first took on my plot but it's been so well handled,referred to constantly that the pages have all started to come out and in spite of selotaping many back in again, they fall out all over the place whenever I want to find something!

Don't think any book I've got has been so well loved and thumbed thru!

Need to look for another copy now :'(

Maybe the charity shops will have one (altho it's not that expensive but they do appear in those shops)
