The books are free to animal sanctuaries to help them to fundraise. They come in boxes of 50 (!) but obviously can be ordered in less or more quantities.

This money is then used to help pay for the free postage/courier to sanctuaries. (think is all sold out now)

a great storehouse of food growing knowledge from Dirty Nails :)
