[Sca-cooks] cabbages and kings

[johnna holloway]

In the USA it's titled as:
The Origins of Fruits and Vegetables.
Jonathan Roberts. US 22.50.
ISBN: 0-7893-0656-5

It's a not a bad book and it's being discounted
here so it costs roughly 16.00 which is the price
of a paperback these days.228 pages.
It does not have a bibliography or footnotes; just
a short paragraph for "Further Reading" which is
ok, but notes would have been more useful.  It says
things like "We know that they ...."; well, the question
is why do we know and where does it say so? Good
for a general, not specific text. Nicely
illustrated with color illustrations.
