Spring is just around the corner, and in just over a month, Martha's 101rst book will be on bookshelves! Martha's readers have waited quite some time for a new book on gardening, but that's the subject of this new, hardcover book: Martha Stewart's Gardening Handbook published by Harvest, will be on bookshelves on March 18th. It is currently available for pre-order on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Target.
Harvest is the same publisher that produced The Martha Manual and her book Organizing. I imagine the book will have a similar approach and layout with gardening how-tos, planting schedules and design ideas.
In other Martha book news, Crown Publishing will be reissuing Martha's first book, Entertaining, in October. It will not be any different than the original printing but it will be published on higher quality paper, according to the publisher. New interest from a new generation of fans interested in collecting Martha's books apparently prompted the reissue.
Above is a photo of the cover of Martha Stewart's Gardening Handbook and here is a description of the book from the publisher:
