Useful but spotty,

This review is from: A Produce Reference Guide to Fruits and Vegetables from Around the World: Nature's Harvest (Hardcover)
This manual provides some useful information on a lot of fruits and vegetables found in supermarkets, sometimes facts that are otherwise hard to find. Unfortunately, its coverage is very spotty - take apples for example, it has a fair general discussion, then goes into some detail on several specific varieties, but totally ignores a much larger number that people are already less likely to know about because they are newer in markets. It is also rather overpriced for what you get, this book would be a better deal as a $15 Dover paperback.A slightly less expensive and generally better reference is Food Plants of the World: An Illustrated Guide published by Timber Press http://www.amazon.com/Food-Plants-World-Illustrated-Guide/dp/0881927430/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1271384371&sr=8-1 |
