Garden Literature celebrates 10th year

Dear GWL members,

Garden Literature, an annual index of magazine articles about plants and 
gardens, is now in its tenth year, no small feat in a decade that has 
seen many magazines come and go.

To mark this achievement we have prepared a press release plus some FAQs 
about what Garden Literature is. If you can help spread the word by 
writing about Garden Literature or by forwarding the information to 
someone you know who might benefit from using such an index, it would be 
much appreciated.

Indexes are essential reference tools, but too few people know about 
them. Some say the internet is enough, but it's really not. Others say 
they use a magazine's own index, but not all magazines have indexes 
(some of the magazines in Garden Literature do not have their own). 
Besides, you can waste a lot of time bouncing from index to index, 
especially if you don't know or can't remember which magazine published 
an article you are looking for. There are many good reasons for using 
indexes and helping to support them.

A press release is printed below sans graphics and formatting. I can 
send you "prettier" versions as attachments if you email me a request. 
And if you have questions, don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Sally Williams
Editor and publisher

GARDEN LITERATURE PRESS CELEBRATES 10TH YEAR

Ten years ago, when librarian and home gardener Sally Williams was 
increasingly frustrated trying to locate articles she had seen in 
gardening magazines, she decided to compile and publish an index to 
magazine articles herself. As a result, GARDEN LITERATURE: An Index to 
Periodical Articles and Book Reviews was born and has been published 
annually to great critical claim ever since.

GARDEN LITERATURE is an annotated listing by author and subject of 
articles published in a dozen of the leading gardening magazines 
published in the U.S. and U.K. Want to know what the award-winning 
plants are? Consult GARDEN LITERATURE. Whatever your gardening interest, 
whether children’s gardens, under-used plants, ecological gardening, 
hazardous trees, great gardens to visit, or how to grow lemongrass, 
GARDEN LITERATURE is where to start your search. You will also find 
reviews of books you are considering buying or new ones by your favorite 
authors. 

Volume 10, 2001 will be published in May 2002. $29.95 plus $3.95 
shipping in the U.S., $4.95 shipping to Canada. For more information,
