Perfect Book Perfect Read, By
This review is from: Perfect Plant, Perfect Place (Hardcover)
If you're one of those gardeners who wish they knew what plant to buy to fill that specific spot, or have a certain soil type but are unsure what plants will suit it, then this is THE book to have.It's not a "how to garden", more of a "what to garden" encyclopaedia, with plants divided into groups according to location, habit, appearance, basically every different growing condition you may come across. Simply look up the criteria you wish and find the plants that thrive in it. It's straight forward and exceptionally easy to follow. My copy is already well-thumbed!

Perfect plant book,
This review is from: Perfect Plant, Perfect Place (Hardcover)
I love this book!! As a novice and newly enthusiastic gardener with very little knowledge I find this book endlessly fascinating - it has a wealth of information, beautiful photos and answers so many questions. It is very clearly set out and organised and covers everything from flowers to trees to houseplants. I can easily while away a couple of hours just browsing through it. If you only ever buy one gardening book, make it this one!

Great for creative gardeners., By Grumbleguts (Aberdeen Scotland) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: Perfect Plant, Perfect Place (Hardcover)
I had this book years ago - and built up my own garden simply from looking at pictures of the plants I liked -then finding a spot in the garden where they would grow. My Garden was an Alice Through the Looking Glass fantasy - and it was effortless. The plants more or less looked after themselves because they were in the optimum conditions for them. I have hunted high and low for another copy - and was delighted to find this again on Amazon. Even for armchair gardeners - it's a joy to leaf through. |

| Will Dean's Ideas Factory: Billr app means an end to asking 'Why am I paying for your steak?' | ||
 Somehow, it's never easy. Even if there's an even number of you. Even if everyone has the same meal. And the same drinks. Even the tip can make things complicated.

| Trending: Hardbacks vs e-books: the sequel | ||
 In the world of journalism it's called a "reverse ferret" - a story breathlessly announcing that Black is White, just 24 hours after confidently asserting that Black is Black. In the genteel environs of publishing, it's a volte-face. Whatever it is, James Daunt, owner of Daunt Books and managing director of the Waterstones chain, executed a classic twirl at the weekend.

We love flavorwire.com's new collection of "extremely silly photos of extremely serious writers", which shows that even Nobel Prize-winners kick back and let their hair down from time to time.

| Invisible Ink: No 124 - Hans Fallada | ||
|
His pen-name was created from two characters in Grimm's fairy tales, but his novels had little in common with the moralistic fantasies of mittel-Europe. Rudolf Ditzen was a magistrate's son, raised in Berlin and immersed in Dickens, Flaubert and Dostoevsky. He became one of the greatest German authors of the 20th century, but was not translated into English until 2009.

| The curious world of Norton Juster | ||
 Some people are very easy to interview. Norton Juster is not one of them. He's delightful and articulate, but listening to the recording of our time together, it's striking how much more interesting his answers are than my questions. So our conversation entirely failed to resolve classics such as "Where did the idea for your book come from?" and ended up instead about vocational education, bipolar disorder, obscure Edwardian ghost-story writers, C P Snow, synaesthesia and the walks Juster used to take with his older brother. In some respects, it's hardly surprising; Juster has been giving interviews about his children's classic The Phantom Tollbooth for half a century, so might be forgiven for wanting his conversations to roam elsewhere.

| How Aharon Appelfeld chronicled the Holocaust | ||
 Blooms of Darkness, in Green's graceful, grave and irresistibly readable English version, tells the story of Hugo, a young Jewish boy in an occupied town in eastern Europe who loses his parents to the camps but stays alive thanks to the shelter and salvation offered him by a local prostitute, Mariana. It extends and deepens one of the most remarkable journeys in all modern literature. In a prolific career whose highlights include novels such as Badenheim 1939, Tzili, The Immortal Bartfuss and The Iron Tracks, as well as the memoir The Story of a Life, Appelfeld has interrogated the meaning of what happened to him, to his community, and to humanity itself, during Europe's era of genocide.

| Gwendoline Riley: A portrait of the artist as a brooding young woman... | ||
 Gwendoline Riley was finishing her first novel at the age that most of us were sleeping in, bunking off, or congregating around a pint at the student union bar. Turning her university dissertation into her debut, Cold Water (2002) she signed a two-book deal at the age of 22. Since then, she has accumulated a hipster-ish following and several literary awards (Somerset Maugham Award, the Betty Trask Award, a John Llewellyn-Rhys Memorial prize shortlisted nomination).
