Mine does, but it is more along the lines of machines and animals for sale. Still, it is a nice connection with agricultural interests. I don't have the book, so I can't refer to it, but there was one state she thought had the very best one.

I remember the deep pleasure they gave me when I read them one winter a few years ago. <BR/><BR/>Another writer I've enjoyed is Henry Mitchell who wrote for the Washington Post.

(I did a short little book review for our mg association a couple years ago.) However, I didn't really like No One Gardens Alone...it read almost like a thesis to me and I found Elizabeth's life rather sad...I was happier thinking of her through the Two Gardeners book.
