75 Exciting Vegetables for Your Garden por Jack Staub
*I* find it exciting! :)
Va-va-va-voom, this is one pretty book. I mean drop-dead gorgeous. To be honest, I didn't even have a garden when I saw this book. But the cover, the binding, and the drawings changed that.
That's right. This is a GAME-CHANGER BOOK.
The author highlights special varieties of fruits and provides quotes and historical information. Since I purchased this book, I have planted eleven fruit trees, so that should tell you something. And I am not a gardener, but now I read voraciously about soil and seeds and climate. Just because of a book that was sitting askew on a bookstore shelf. If I hadn't seen it, if I had just walked right on by, I could be spending my mornings and evenings watching the telly and getting fat. But no, this book has me out tilling the soil and creating life, while talking to people who walk by and ask 'what the heck kind of tree is that'? Game-changer.

Interesting read, some nice historical facts about some of the veg. Would only recommend for the truly obsessed gardener
I loved everything about this book - the solid, heavy blue cloth binding, the arts and crafts lettering, the satisfying heft of the book in my hand, the full color plates, and the delightfully ornate and witty prose (he had me at "weedy ubiquity") full of useful and interesting information. Highly recommended for everyone who loves plants, words, and a well-crafted book.
