This is an interesting book (I will admit I could not find the exact details of the version I have) but its close enough and I guess the content is the same. Its basically a book full of little gems of wisdom broken down in a series of sub groups so you have an group set by activity - say gardeners, then it would be further divided down to a common set of tasks for example seedlings - with each group then having a number of helpful handy comment and suggestions. As for the actual advice or suggestions imparted - that varies, from common sense, to facts I already knew (but its always reassuring to see them re-affiremd) to down right surprising. There seems to be something for everyone here - I would say though you have to skim through a lot to find the interesting stuff.
