I haven't really read them before, are they worth getting hold of as
they aren't too far away from me.

Waste of space mate if you just want information. Get a good book. You
can never find the mag. you want when you need the info.

Definitely. A book is always better, from every point if view. Note
that the ad says "most back issues", so it isn't even complete: a
white elephant. Browse the gardening section of your library and see
what kind of thing you actually want; but if you're an absolute
beginner, then a good start would be the "Expert" books: have a look
at "The Garden Expert". It may tell you all you need, or simply be a
starter.
