    WHSmith do an option of free delivery to a store of your choice. I'm popping into town shortly, so will take a look in the shop there and if they don't have it, will order online.

    I would just like to add my thanks to vegmandan, I bought a copy today and agree that it's a lot of book for not much more than the price of some magazines. Cheers T.D.

    There still charging full price at the whsmith in Newport for that book although I did pick myself up a copy of the RHS New Encyclopedia of Gardening Techniques for a smidge under £7.00

    Thanks vegmandan!

    PS: looked on hotukdeals.co.uk and found the same book at whsmith online for only £4.49 by using this link http://www.whsmith.co.uk/CatalogAnd...lopedia of Gardening Techniques-33342597.html

    maybe this is the paperback??

    "maybe this is the paperback?? "

    The ISBN shown on the website (9781845334086) is supposed a "hardcover", so probably The Real Mycoy

    I got this tome for Christmas, but would not have bought it. Nothing new, but a good reference book.
