£13.20 from WHSmith as well with free store delivery however I think most stores will already have the book in. I haven't bought the book yet but I will.

Cool

Thanks Lesley,

I bought the book via the bookman that comes to our hospital for £7. I have a couple of books on vegatable growing, but this is by far the best of alll of them. Its very presice and straight to the point and very easy to read.

Thanks for the reccommendation !
