5 out of 5 stars Review for book "Putting Foods By"   December 27, 2008
This is a very helpful book. Bought mine a long time ago, and this purchase is for my sister who is not interested in putting foods up.
Very informative and accurate material!

The book came faster than I expected and was in great condition. I'm very pleased. What a good buy on a classic.

This is a book everyone who does any food preservation should have. I bought one for myself and one for a gift.


5 out of 5 stars Missing Pages 155-186   September 14, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.


5 out of 5 stars The best COMPREHENSIVE food preservation book   September 12, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

The value in this book is its coverage of techniques. That's very unlike, say, the Ball preservation book, which focuses on water bath and pressure canning. Putting Food By is as close to a preservation Bible as you will find. It's a staple among natural food folks, gardeners, home preparedness advocates, even survivalists. Please note that it is a technique book primarily, not a cookbook for canning, as so many food preserving books are. (There is, of course, extensive coverage of canning techniques.) That said, one reason I like Putting Food By so much is that there is detailed food item by food item advice as it relates to preservation you don't typically find in other books.
