I have read and enjoyed this book - more importantly the information was great in helping my pumpkins grow larger. The intended audience is one who wishes to grow BIG, and I mean BIG pumpkins. Growing large pumpkins can be done by anyone (with the help of this book). It is also a fun hobby that you can enjoy with your children. There is nothing like putting a 500+ pound orange jack-o-lantern on your front porch on Halloween and letting the neighborhood enjoy the sight of it. No one I have ever met does not smile when they see a big object like a giant pumpkin, it is guaranteed a great conversation piece. This book helps you learn about seed, soil, growing techniques, watering, and contests and even displaying your fruit after it is harvested. The author has spent lots of time fully researching this hobby and has done a great job of presenting the material of this unique endeavor to anyone who might enjoy gardening or growing large curabits. The pictures alone are worth the price of this book! This book is much better than World Class Giant Pumpkins the previous one by the same author. There are three or four other books or articles regarding this subject that are not as extensive as this one. If growing pumpkins is something you might enjoy or you have already tried to grow pumpkins and were not happy with the results this book will prove invaluable.

This colorful, informative book covers everything a grower needs to know to grow a pumpkin that will be the envy of the neighborhood. I give a tremendous amount of credit to this book for having helped me to grow an 819 pound pumpkin. If you have any desire to grow a giant pumpkin, then this book is worth its weight in gourds.

Read this book and start a hobby that will last a lifetime.

The pumpkins are still growing, but if the tables for when and what fertilzer are good it should help and a lot

I really liked this book because it was very informative about growing that giant pumpkin you have always wanted.....everything from pollinating, positioning of pumpkin,fertilizing to pictures of some of the real heavy hitters.
The information in this book helped me grow a pumpkin(it is still growing) that will be well over 200lbs, not too bad for the first time....overall really good book....How-to-Grow World Class Giant Pumpkins II: Sequel to the Classic Book on Growing Giant Pumpkins

I really love a how-to book that uses great photos to illustrate. This book is perhaps that best that I have seen in this regard. The photos are simply superb. I think photos in a book like this should be one part "eye candy" to draw interest, and two parts used to illustrate a point or to inform. Again, this book is the best I've seen on this point.

The writing is also excellent. Its well researched and well written in a simple, yet pleasing style. Of course, if you're into growing giant pumpkins this book is absolutely essential, and you probably have it, or should get it. If you're not into pumpkins but want to write a "how-to" book, get this one to see the best.
