They sound like the sort of books I may have on the bookshelves. Need to check.

I've read the first one. Seymour is a classic.

I've found 3 John Seymour books but not the one that SC has. However, I suspect that there's a big overlap in the content of most of his books. The title changes but the contents don't change much.
Haven't found the other two books though - not yet anyway. Wink
