https://www.downsizer.net/Reviews_-_Books%2C_TV%2C_Radio%2C_Film/Book_Reviews/Review_-_Preserved_-_Nick_Sandler_and_Johnny_Acton/ A great review by Behemoth with much that mirrors my own view of the book Which might be summarised as a great book to have to introduce you to various facets of preserving, but not worth the ï¿½25 cover price. Definately as you say, a bit thin in places jema

Having a quick read through the review it looks like a good book for the shelf.

I agree pretty much with Behemoth about this book. I thought it was OK, all right as a casual read, but not something that I would go back to again and again. I got it for Christmas, but having read the River Cottage books first, I was disappointed. I had a couple of smiles while reading it, but no real delight or inspiration.

I think it may depend on what level you are at already. I am pleased to have this one on the shelf as a gift and is it cheap from book bargains. At the cover price I would be pretty unhappy though. jema

I like this book. yes, I think you could take it further in a lot of areas, but as a general overview it insired me to have a go at a lot of things. I'm just wondering where I can fit a drying box...... having a surplus of honey around the place, I can't wait to try the fruit leathers.
