the pages are missing!!
By Mookins
Norfolk, United Kingdom
strange request but my book of wildflowers has pages 17 to 32 missing!
If anyone has this book
The wildflowers of Britain and Northern Europe by Richard Fitter, Alistair Fitter and Marjorie Blamey.
I will be more than happy to pay for paper, time and postage if they could photocopy this for me. Or even scan and email accross would be great.
I love this book but didnt realise when I bought it from a book sale it was missing these pages

Mookins if those pages are missing it is likely others are too - probably why it was in the sale.

You're welcome, Mookins (blush, blush) It seems a very expensive book.

my one was printed in 1974 would this be the reason why?

No idea, Mookins. I do remember seeing Marjorie Blamey on Gardeners World, touring round her garden and watching her at work on an illustration which was exquisite.

Think I might get a copy myself - are they in colour? I'll give you a couple of days head start, lol.

What a pain, Mookins! Sorry I can't help. I hope someone on GOY has this book. Good luck!
