Within these main entries, there are brief descriptions of over 250 similar species, expanding the coverage of the book still further. Illustrated with colour photos. 480pp
Comment from Regina Parsons at Wide Bay Branch of the RFCA:
"What I particularly liked was the index at the front. Don't you hate having to try and hold open a big book whilst searching the index at the back. Another great feature is that you can see at a glance the description of the fruit or nuts flavour because it is printed in a different colour. You immediately know if the flavour appeals to your without searching through the entire description."
