I don't think it matters at all about  some of these books not being in English.... plenty German and Russian  forumists and readers of the Forum who may be glad to hear of these books.... though perhaps it is a little late for Christmas gift shopping.....

Olga,

Best wishes with your book. I hope it sells millions.

Pity I will not be able to read it.

I don't know where that comes from, Mark, as I have had a boxfull for a day or two now. See new 'Secretaries Pages' for details.

[Paddy Tobin]

That's good news, David. It should be in the post shortly then. Paddy

 Ah, the holidaymaker returns-   Hope there was no sign of Monsieur Poirot or any other Agatha Christie characters on your Nile cruise, David!!
 Good to have you home.

If the JR Crocus books are not all preordered then you'll be in for a good day of sales at  Dunblane on the 19th February, then, eh? 

[David Shaw]

I wouild expect it to sell readily, Maggie. It is a very informative book as we would expect.
The Nile Cruise was fantastic - not a flower in sight! Daren't tell you how warm and sunny it was. We were not the only Forumists in Egypt at the time either - met another well known face at Luxor airport on the way home.

The February edition of Gardens Illustrated has some articles in it, that might interest Forumists:
1. An article about North Green Snowdrops/John Morley
2. Winter Iris by Christine Skelmersdale
3. Hellebore Breeding
4. Profile of John Massey (Ashwoods)
