Lovely little book if you like growing your veggies ( )

A very superficial look at a relatively small selection of vegetables. Disappointing. Disappointing. I doubt I want to devote even an iota of shelf space to this book. ( )

A charming little book, full of history, botany and interesting facts about the vegetables we grow and use. It also has beautiful illustrations, many reproduced from old books. I had it on my "Currently Reading" list for a long time because I was reading it in the bathroom, a page or two at a time. Recommended.
