Seller's Description:
Fine. Hbk 176pp, square small 4to, profusely illustr color photos throughout, no dj as issued, a new and unread copy, excellent clean tight unmarked as new, gift quality.
This book is fabulous to identify melons and explore the many varieties. The colorplates are breathtaking. Although she shares some valuable tips, it is not such a great text for actually gleaning gardening information.
Amy is so passionate, and the book so beautiful, it reinforces the reasoning behind maintaining abundant diversity in all our food.
