I am searching for 2 childrens books from the 1980's without knowledge of publisher or titles, anyone help?

I am desperately searching for 2 children's books from the 1980's. I can see them both in my mind but cannot remember the titles or the publisher so thought I'd have a try on here on the off chance if anyone recognises the descriptions...

They were sold in WHSmith in the 80's and they were quite an expensive book for the time.

One was about gardening and one was a cookery book, there may have been other kinds... they were square in shape and spiralbound, quite weighty, the gardening book was mainly green, and the thing I remeber most is the illustrations... each diagram had lots of tiny little people taking part in the cooking, gardening etc. The illustrastions made the books.

Does anyone recognise these at all from my vague description? Does anyone remember them? I've been trying to remember the title and publisher for quite a while now and i've decided I'll never be able to remember. Can anyone shed any light on the subject?

Reply:Start heading to libraries, both school and public, and ask the lady. Childrens' librarians know every childrens' book that was ever published, usually by heart. They're just amazing.



The risk is that you'll get distracted in the library and never get back to your original project.
