Default Desperately seeking Gardening Book Club!

Hello all, a newbie here. I've just started studying the RHS General and want to get hold of a few of the recommended books cheaply. I'm trying to find one of those book clubs that specialises in gardening - you know the sort that offer the first six books for 50p each and then you must buy another six at the usual price, or whatever. Does anyone know a URL for one of these clubs. I usually keep the advertising leaflets for this kind of club that fall out of my GYO magazine, but at the moment can't seem to find them, probably on the compost heap!

Thanks in advance!

I have found Amazon to be a good place to buy my Gardening books. Mostly they are second hand and are much cheaper than Amazon's own prices.
Another place I have found to be good value is the Bargain bookshops that stock remaindered books or old print runs. This is where I managed to pick up old editions of the two Royal Horticultural Society encyclopaedias which I was eyeing enviously for a number of years but at £35 each were out of my price range. I got each of the two books for £9.99. The information they contain is still as good as the new editions.

www.greenmetropolis.com is good, all books are £3.75, most with free postage but some bigger ones there is a small postage charge. All books are second had and you can sell your unwanted books there. All proffits go to trees
