Rating: - Putting Food By
This is a book everyone who does any food preservation should have.I bought one for myself and one for a gift.
Rating: - Missing Pages 155-186
This book is a must have for anyone with the slightest interest of canning, drying or freezing food. Only problem is my book is missing pages 155 through 186. It looks like a binder error, so there may be more out there with the same problem. Check as soon as it arrives.

I wore out my old copy, was happy to see that it is still avalable in a updated version with all the old information still included.

- Great for some, not others
Absolutely excellent and comprehensive, but if you're new to canning--a city girl like me or simply afraid of killing someone with your canned goods--start with something less scary.
