I'm willing to publishing a 'book' where you need certaing privileges to read given chapters.
- Basic members can only read chapter 1
- Silver members can only read Chapter 1 & 2
- Gold members could read 1, 2 or 3
- Diamond 1, 2 , 3 & 4
I'm sure you get the idea. It may be by chapters, by books or by ... I've never worked before with the concept of 'books' so any background reading suggestion appreciated.

Hi ploGrumpy,
Drupal Gardens doesn't yet allow you to selectively limit access to content. It's a popular request which is definitely on our roadmap, though. I've added your case to our project for that feature - tracking internally as #AN-12634.

What about making a 'private' forum only for the admins or the bloggers of the site, is that something I can make?
I'm confused of when & what can be shown to certain users and what not, i.e. there are elements that are giving the options to be presented to users roles while others not.
Is there any material worth reading or seeing?

Hi there,
Right now you can only set broad content access permissions - that is, all your content is viewable by a role or none is. This applies to forums as well - there's not yet a way to make some of them private, or have different levels of privacy.
Blocks can be configured to be visible only to certain roles, but they're not full blown content - they don't show up in search, can't be commented on, etc.

Hi there,
For Professional plans and higher, you can now have fine-grained access control for forum topics in Drupal Gardens!
As of our latest service update on March 12th, you can define access control rules describing which users (by role) can view, edit, or delete a forum topic. Role indicators can also be applied to forum topics to highlight which topics are restricted.
For more information on the latest Gardens feature enhancements, check out our recent 'What's New' release announcement.
Thanks!
Best regards,
