Comment on Primula Books<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The internet can’t give you all the knowledge and joy that a book can provide. I am biased as I collect gardening books but am drawing the line at buying books that are digital publications of the Wiki content (sorry I have included one book in this list of books on the Primula family.)
\nBooks and records on the history of plants and how they have been grown, bred and developed can add extra interest for the gardening amateur, professional or obsessional alike.
\nThis is just a list of some of the books in English about Primulas and related species that are available, even if currently out of print.
\nPart of the fun is adding to a collection via secondhand book shops and I hope to add to this list as I realise other books are in publication.<\/p>\n
