| | | A Book to Buy I was in The WORKS yesterday and came across and brought a Book written by 'The Wildlife Trust' called "The Complete Garden Wildlife Book" retailing at £9.99.. The Works are selling it for £2.99 
It combines full identification with detailed species profiles of 250 wildlife species common to Britain and Europe.
I would recommend it to anyone interested in wildlife, or just anyone just starting out.

Mind you, it is an amazing place. Some of the books are more than a century old and they have that lovely 'old book' smell.
I agree it does look small on the outside but it's a maze of shelves that seem to go on for miles.
