From my local charity shop.
The Royal Horticultural Society book Propagating Plants. A big book
that
looks brand new. Maybe an unwanted present.
It cost me 60p.
The only fault it has is that the text is so small it's almost
unreadable
for me as I have sight problems but I'll find a way round that
somehow.

Are you able to buy a page magnifier, Tina ?? I havent got one myself,
but Ive been told theyre good as they rest on the page. I have a large
magifying glass with handle - quite good but have to hold the handle,
(so
it helps to have three hands. lol.)

As someone who used to work with People with sight problems I wouldn't
waste money on a page magnifier they dont do a lot,
If you ask your local Social Services dept if there is a low vision
clinic or ask your opticial about low vision aids, you may be able to
get some free or cut price, also you could contact
The Partialy sighted society http://www.partsight.org.uk/
or www.RNIB.org.uk
Both of these can help with low vision aids and advice.

I hadn't thought of that. I have great respect for the RNIB, especially
for their hearing books.

I have a friend who is sadly developing AMD, she just uses a good quality
big magnifying glass.
