His books are BRILLIANT! I have quite a few of them and they are all well thumbed - they are stuffed with information. I think he deserves to have made a fortune.

MrsBeige, you've set me thinking, I'm sure we have a copy of the Pond Expert but haven't seen it for ages, will have a good look when we do our spring clean/sort out! |

I've just come across an article about him - he's almost 80 and although his books have made him a multi-millionaire he has never been on TV, he's a bit of a recluse and prefers being called Dave to Dr anything. The Orchid Expert's just been published and he has another book coming out in 2009 which he can't reveal yet. What a guy! |

Ooooo I must look out for the Orchid Expert as I now have 2 to care for. ;D Just found it for sale on Amazon but it's not due out until next month. www.amazon.co.uk/Orchid-Expert-D-G-Hessayon/dp/0903505673/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1200841351&sr=1-1Bargain! How dooo they do that? Still it's good to get in early - I expect they'll be as popular as ever. |

I can feel another book buy coming on ;D I found another of his books in the loft - The Greenhouse Expert - like The witch, we don't have one at the moment but I obviously decided at some point we would have another one! |

Another newish one he's got out is the Vegetable and Herb Expert, and the Pest and (I think) Weed Expert. The pest one looks great, not that I agree with rifling through the pages of books in B&Q I'm not going to buy though. : |

Just remembered, the 'Expert Books' are all on offer in Waterstones (at least Solihull so I assume all branches) - buy two get one free and it is on until June time.
