Good. Good condition. Good dust jacket. A copy that has been read but remains intact. May contain markings such as bookplates, stamps, limited notes and highlighting, or a few light stains. Bundled media such as CDs, DVDs, floppy disks or access codes may not be included.
The Essential Earthman was delightful from beginning to end. I loved curling up with it and having lots of chuckles during the glum month of January when most gardeners are wishing for spring. Henry Mitchell's wiry sense of humor combined with a deep understanding of what drives the gardener to dirt, insects, trial and error, disappointments and the height of great success when our garden survives the four seasons, does not disappoint the reader.
I highly recommend the book.

Garden writing for gardeners
Henry Mitchell wrote a gardening column for the Washington Post for many years, and this is a collection of those essays organized by theme - seasons, vines, trees, bulbs, particular groups of flowers - which could be dull but is instead engaging, funny , reassuring and challenging. Mitchell's writing is gardener to gardener; he covers plant descriptions, design, and technique but most importantly he captures the rapture and frustration of gardening, and the humanity of gardeners. He is passionately fond of some plants, scathing about others, but a constant advocate of growing what you find to be beautiful. A wonderful book for inspiration.
