Given my moniker on this forum 'Gardenerbill' I thought it was about time I read Alan Palmer's classic book on the Salonika campaign 'The Gardeners of Salonika'. I was able to pick up a new paper back version quite cheap on Amazon, however, I was slightly dissappointed to find that the pictures are printed on the same paper as the text and consequently the reproduction quality is very poor, in fact the book generally has a cheap feel to it. I suppose I will have to keep a look out for a secondhand hardback copy. I haven't started reading it yet as I am currently half way through re-reading Sebastian Faulks 'Birdsong', but more about that later.
