Good, it was just what Hama had told me. Anything by Helen Read is worth reading, I think some of her early stuff is downloadable

I just got a copy from them too; 11 pounds to ship; tolerable.

 

Pretty good stuff on pruning, as far as it goes. Which is still a whooooole lot farther than any US books, sad to say.

 

Great stuff overall; almost as good as the action shots with narration at arbtalk!

Here's a synopsis used as a handout, fwiw.

 

Critiques welcome.
