You may have noticed some tinkering around in my sidebars lately! I get so many enquiries about what books I recommend on the various topics that we cover at Sallygardens that I originally began listing them in my sidebar. Recently I discovered that its possible for me to open a 'bookshop' via Amazon, and to choose what books go onto the shelves. I can also write comments about each of the books. And there's a bonus for me too ... if you order anything via my bookshop, I get a little bit of commission in the form of a book token. I have done my best to select the most useful books, and split them into various categories such as sustainable living, keeping pigs chickens goats, cookery, preserving, charcuterie, fruit and veg, self build and even a section on Ireland. Many of the books I own myself. Anything in the bookshop that I own, I've written a small review for those books. I will continue to add books to the shelves as I get more myself, and as readers recommend them to me. Have fun browsing, look on the left hand sidebar and click on the books.
What a great idea! I've only had time for a quick glance, but hope to find some quality browsing time soon.

Great list! You might also like Cottage Industry by Betsy Klein, it gives brief snippets of Irish artisans and craft workers.

You could also put Dorling Kindersleys Ireland guide in - v useful. When you are back crafting again you could start up a felting section. Not that we are trying to organise you, Sally !

Good idea! Is the commission actually worthwhile?

Somehow time I climbed on is not present and, asking questions, found interesting and not so interesting answers. One of which was - « FailureAccident on the Chernobyl atomic power station, 4 power unit ». I became interesting and thumbing through sites was simply horrified. One I the fellow worker, in the past the meter man, has told about the friend which was the liquidator of consequences of this failureaccident, the truth or not I do not know. But spoke that - « firemen which extinguished a fire there, by turns washed in a showersoul groups, and muzhiks because of an irradiation were shone in darkness, but to live ithim remains few hours ».
