Horticultural book selection at fingertips.

"OKAY, so there are plenty of online bookshops about, but the ACS Online Bookshop has a praticular horticultural bent.

The site is a sister site to the distance learning school, ACS Distance Education, which specialises in many horticulture courses.

The online bookshop boasts an extensive list of topics and categories, including books written by ACS principal John Mason, who is an expert horticulturist among other things.

The site has links to all the useful social media such as Twitter, Facebook and MySpace.

The user can search for a book on a specific topic and ACS students receive a 10% discount on purchases.

A shopping cart feature keeps a tally of what the user has purchased so far.

There is also a range of videos for sale.

Its catchphrase seems to sum up the diversity: "If you have special interests from azaleas to zoology, we have the books for you." "
