I love my books like I love my gardens. I purchase books new and used and have appreciated the following sites for their ease of use and the selection.

www.abebooks.com is an amazing source for us. Especially if you are looking for older books on gardening. Some of the information in the older books has been long forgotten and is still of great use to organic and non organic gardeners alike.

www.amazon.com has filled my bookshelves with all types of reading material. Thank you Amazon.
And of course Chapters Bookstore. You can find me there browsing the Gardening section looking for books to add to our collections.

If anyone has any sugestions of other books I might find useful or interesting...let us know.

Happy Reading and Good Health to everyone
