Obsolete?

The library at my local AGS group is very little used.  Books seem to be becoming obsolete in the internet age but when you turn the pages of books like this seminal work on Gentians by Josef Halda you realise how rich is the lost resource they contain.

I have been very quiet on the blip front this last week - bust laptop does not help.. I am hoping to be up and running again soon.  At least we now have hot running water and central heating after a chilly week 'between boilers.'  When the cars are serviced on Friday and the builder has been contacted about the front wall, one end of which appears to have been pushed over this week, we can return to the list of jobs we should have been attending to!
