    Why don't you do your own mag/book and just make it available as a pdf. This is generally the way the market is going and there are sites now that will sell it for you and you could earn a bit of cash!

    This is the way I personally see the publishing going (anyone being able to sell a book themselves, without a cost accept time), as books and mags will be more expensive, Ink/paper costs have trebled last year and magazines/newspapers have been unable to up prices that is partly why so many publishers are going to the wall, besides the internet.

    In America the top 4 newspapers are in dire straights and the general consensus is that they just did not understand the Internet and have a proper online model.

    My biggest bugbear is that they provide a Ebook version but still try and charge the same amount as a printed version and not learnt from the mistakes made by Music companies.

      That is a good idea and I have thought about it.
      I plan to do video's this year so people can download them and see what to do.
      I plan to do step by step with pictures and so on.
      I have the pdf software but no idea how to turn it into a book.

                  UPDATE: I've read through the mag and I did enjoy the articles. Still feel not enough articles for the amount of adverts/Price of mag. Is a Good buy for someone starting out regards the seeds and the articles aren't bad . I more than likely will be sending off for the chilli seed special. (4 types of chilli inc orange habenero's and the price inc of P&P for £5)
                  Never test the depth of the water with both feet

                  The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory....

                  Always remember you're unique, just like everyone else.

                    Mag is a bit pricey and seeds used to be part of the 7.99 deal not advertised as FREE!!! I wont be buying again...

                      My god, the number of spelling and grammar errors in "Let's Grow Veg" is appauling. Can I offer my services as a proofreader for £80 / Magazine?

                        Been to a big craft show at the NEC today and grow Your Own had a stall drumming up subscriptions. Managed to get the latest Lets Grow Veg for £2:50 plus 2 extra packets of veg seed, great value for money at that price. Mind you the craft show did cost me about £55 in expenses.

                          Hope that was a deliberate mistake!

                            I knew it! I ran my paragraph through an online spellchecker because I knew I'd have typed something wrong, and got no errors!! Damn it!

                            I'll stand in the corner now. Appalling.

                                Depends what for. For any potted plants / shrubs it's about a fiver, everything else seems to be about 3 pounds.
