I imagine like most other peeps I lost a lot of plants, especially those

to propagate as many of my plants as possible this year. \I know (and
have)I can get information on the net but would like a good book on
plant propagation, so would welcome recommendations please!

The best i know is "plant propagation principles and practices"

I don't know how technical you want but this is a Text book for the

Rather less expensive but no doubt just as useful is the RHS Propagating
Plants guide.
