Summary: Clearly written guide to buying vegetables and fruits.
Comment: I wish my copy (mass-market paperback, 1973, ISBN 0-515-03228-X) were in better shape, but it is simply indispensible for knowing how to buy good vegetables and fruits of the kind most commonly grown and consumed in the United States. It doesn't have much information about nutrition -- the coverage of this in the book is general and not specific -- but it clearly explains for what to look, when to buy, how to store and prepare, etc.

The list of vegetables and fruits covered by this book is pretty thorough, although it obviously doesn't cover the explosion of exotic produce that has flooded the market of late. You'll need a more up-to-date book for that sort of thing.

As old as it is, the book seems to me to still be just about as useful as it was back in 1973. Agriculture hasn't changed that much since then, and has been a well-practiced art for quite a number of centuries by now. :)
