Hi, On the subject of books the Internet Archive currently has untrammelled access to its 1.4 million book library [1]. Many gardening books including at least one by an alumnus of this list. I can see how opening the library is controversial but it is a chance to see things and perhaps buy in the future. I've collected books and technical magazines and I now have a load of rotting brown paper - it was a pleasant surprise to recently find many of the magazines available in digitised form - pointed out the folly of keeping paper. Less happy to find all the supermarkets had removed the book swop tables in times BC (before crisis)). Internet Archive has a scheme where one can sponsor books for digitisation. Point being digital is the future, books are a fungible commodity.
