5.0 out of 5 stars A great book!, May 23, 2000

By	Clifford R. Warren (Pocatello, ID, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a very well written and interesting book, for anyone wanting to get into the hobby/sport of giant pumpkin growing. In fact, I would consider it a must! There is a lot of good quality photography, appropriate to the subject.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's the Pumpkin Grower's Bible, January 3, 1999

By A Customer

We ordered 40 books for sale at our 2nd Annual Pumpkinfest in Beautiful Prince Edward County. They sold out completely before Christmas. Looks like we will need some more before our seed Seminar in March. This book is a must if you are interested in growing Giant Pumpkins.
