	Here's a run down of the current issue, which has a design theme - you're
 right, they should put more details on the website. I'll suggest it to Tom.

 
	Thirty six pages, six times a year, no ads, illustrated with colour artworks
 throughout. The main features the current issue are are:
	
	Seed starting
 Notebook
	A Taste for Beets (Wayne Winterrowd)
	Shapes make a Garden (Christopher
 Lloyd)
	Hands-on Design (Anna Pavord)
	Balance and Mass (Stephen Anderton)

 Making a Mixed Border (Fergus Garrett) including two fold-out pages with
 a complete planting plan for the new 300ft border at WFF.
	Pruning an Overgrown
 Fruit Tree (Lee Reich)
	First Flowers (Graham Stuart Thomas)
	Pearls of
 Late Winter (Dan Hinckley) - snowdrops
	Life Under Glass (John Emmanuel)

 
	There are also various departments, full page paintings etc...
	
	I
 don't think the magazine is available on the newsstands at all, subscription
 only. But well worth the subscription. After The Garden, this would be my
 choice for best magazine. Although, it has to be said, there quite a few
 Brits writing for it...!

 And thank you for the kind words about my books. Two more due this year...

 
	
	
	Hello Graham Rice,
	
	Can't comment on your magazine but did have
 a look at WFF (I live nearby-been
	there) page and offer.
	
	WFF has a
 penchant for hiring Brits.  I always met charming accents on
	visits.  The
 WFF page does not mention the number of pages, sample tables of
	contents
 and other authors.  It is pricey so there ought to be a few of these
	incidentals
 included.
	
	I can say however, that I own two of your books.  It occurred
 to me that
	Graham could be Nicholls or Rice or......
	
	You have the
 seed starter with Christopher Lloyd, a good book which shows
	that you must
 also be a very patient man.
	
	And there is Graham Rice on "Hardy Perennials"
 with a chapter on Hosta worth
	buying the book.  One can become mentally
 disturbed over hosta so I thought
	this chapter truly a balance.
	
	Is
 your magazine on the stands?  Can you get us a free article on that page

 or a free issue to have a look?  That can't be too bad, did not Chris just

 tell us that there are about 400 on this list.  Oh well, a thought on a

 dreary day.
