Not instock yet but a bargain when its normally £9.99, free postage with code FPP154

this is not a book club and has no minimum books to buy.

Many thanks! It's the thought of book that I've been looking for, I want planting ideas and info on getting the most out of my sized plot which i think is smaller than a 10 rod.

They are the people that leave books at offices etc for staff to buy.  I have had some good bargains.  One of their competitors has left the RHS Encyclopedia of plants and shrubs (or something like that) retails at £35 going for £12

Do you know when they are getting the in as i've checked out two other sites and they've put that it's not published until May.  I hope not as the books got planting plans and best of all for me how mauch to plant for a family of four.

Under the cookery section from th Book People can I highly recommend Falling Cloudberries by Tessa Kyros - I cannot believe it is only £7.99, I have this and Apples for Jam and if you are into cooking with fresh ingredients and from scratch then these are must have books!

They are also beautiful to look through and at when they are on the shelf!

You would think that a book which gives planting examples and adive on how much to plant for different family sizes aimed at people with allotment would be published now not when we've already started.

Can anyone suggest another book which offers similar advice. I have afimily of 5

Just had another look at the book site. It states that the book is in stock.
Maybe it has been released early.
