For those of us who are going to have bumper crops of everything this year (:rotfl: :rotfl: ) this book is coming out in August. You can pre-order it at Amazon for £7.79 (rrp £12.99) the cheapest price I've found. It has had good reviews so I've bitten the bullet and ordered, along with another book I wanted to get free delivery.

    So, if you would like to add Preserves (Handbook No. 2) to your collection, it is available now at our special launch price of £9.99 instead of the RRP of £12.99, along with some other great offers on our Mushroom Handbook and our yet to be published, Handbook No.3 - Bread.

    You bagged a bargain there ;)
