Just got this in through ILL:
_Uncommon Fruits worthy of Attention: A gardener's Guide_, by Lee Reich.
(NY: Addison-Wesley, 1991.

The book includes descriptions, sketches, history, cultivation, and use
information for the following fruits: Pawpaw, gooseberry, Nanking cherry,
medlar, juneberry, maypop, kaki and American persimmons, raisin tree,
black currant, elaeagnus, actinidia, jujube, alpine and musk strawberries,
currants, red and white, mulberry, lowbush blueberry, Asian pear,
Jostabery, and cornelian cherry. Also included are info on pollination,
siting and planting, pruning, propagation, and mail order sources. Well
indexed.

This is fascinating. I want to go out and buy a whole bunch of trees
now...
