1.0 out of 5 stars Out of date. Significant changes made in 2009, June 28, 2010

Anna Sea Green "amazon fan" (Bend, Oregon, United States) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Complete Guide to Home Canning and Preserving (Paperback)

This USDA publication has been updated in 2009 and the one for sale was published 1994. After the fact, I received UDSA, NIFA, Agriculture Information Bulletin No. 539 listing significant changes in every one of the seven sections pertaining to food safety &/or quality. This rendered the entire book unfit to use as a researched based reference. Knowing that the version I was purchasing was the 1994 version, and I did not realize the differences until after the book arrived, I ended up throwing out the book because I did not feel it was safe to even sell it at a yard sale. I have since acquired the 2009 version of the same book through my local County Extension Service Office.

Mandy (Colorado) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Complete Guide to Home Canning and Preserving (Paperback)

This book was just what I was looking for. Not only does it have great recipes, but also more detailed information for first time canners than any of the other canning books!

2.0 out of 5 stars This is the 1994 edition!, February 10, 2010

Heather F (Oregon) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Complete Guide to Home Canning and Preserving (Paperback)

By the Publishing Date (2008), I assumed that this was a newer edition. I wasn't expecting a reprint of the 1994 USDA Bulletin #539 - 14 years older than the Publishing Date. This should be made clear in the book's information.
