I also posted this query at the Natives forum. To see some interesting comments please visit the Natives forum.

I still love to read and have bought the only good book on mosses I can find - George Schenk's. Would rather curl up under a blanket in the dead of winter with a book while I wait for gardening season, then sit in front of my computer that I already sat at all day on the job.

Yes, we still need books on mosses!

I would most like to know more about building gardens with moss... and see photos. Not just the japanese gardens with full time gardeners, but how a homeowner can do it, trials and tribulations, tricks that may really work to grow moss (do any really work such as buttermilk or beer with moss in a blender... haven't for me) . I also enjoy the history of moss gardening. I think expanding to lichens and etc. is also fair game.
I wouldn't be as interested in identifying and naming varieties in a scientific type layout... although perhaps any good moss book should have this info. I want ideas, tricks, advice, pictures!!

I would pay what the book was worth. A really good book with lots of info and good color photos is worth $40 or so dollars. A paperback with only b&w pics and less info may only be worth $15. But since there is so little literature available on moss it would be worth something regardless of the size and quality and I would probably buy it!

I think it is a small interest niche but those of us who are interested are REALLY INTERESTED!
