Michael Rand
in Fruit & veg
I have just finished reading (again) "Close to the Veg" by Michael Rand a very entertaining book about life on the allotment. It was published in 2005 by Marlin Press. Despite all my best efforts to trace the author and/or the publisher,they both seem to have disappeared. Dioes anyone out there have any clues or information ?

He seems to have a wide range of interests and several publishers.
Are those plts still being worked ? Is anyone out there that has one ?
But looking at a local list of Stansted book publishers there is no mention of Marlin Press. Bitten the dust, I think.

This tells you Michael Rand was still around in 2016.
I expect you’ve seen this
