Summary: Very clear advice for hanging onto your harvest longer.
Comment: This is a great book for (food) gardeners and for people who have some land available to them. Although there are suggestions for "nooks and crannies" in your house, most of those ideas sound like ideas for older (draftier) homes.
The suggestions for building your own working root cellar are clear, with illustrations to help you plan. There are lists of things that keep well and under what conditions to keep them. The authors even list certain varieties of (for instance) apples that keep better than others. There's a month-by-month plan of what could be coming out of your garden, going into the root cellar, and what could be canned or frozen. If you have a large garden, this is an incredibly useful book.
However, those of us with smaller modern homes, smaller yards, and smaller, less heavily-producing gardens will be a little disappointed. As I read this, I came to the conclusion that it would be pretty darned difficult to have a root cellar on our property, because we don't have a useable cool north corner to put one in. Not impossible, mind you, it would just take a lot more effort, planning, and money to build it.
I recommend this book highly for people who raise substantial amounts of their own produce. This book will really extend your harvest. With imagination and a little time and effort, you can have a root cellar that keeps your family in fresh food you grew all year long.

Summary: A good guide to root cellaring
Comment: This book is an excellent guide if you're interested in self-sufficiency. It gives the exact storage recommendations for a good number of fruits and vegetables, including which fruits and vegetables shouldn't be stored too close together.

Summary: You gotta get this book!
Comment: Ok - so, "You gotta get this book" isn't entirely correct grammar! All I can say is - get the darn book! It's easy to read, comforting, inexpensive, a-pass-me-down-book, etceterea. I have it, read it, shared it with friends - and will NOT part with it. I also don't have a root cellar as of yet. ...but I will. Now - its time for you to say, "hey, I like what I see here - so why not get it - it's not expensive and look what I will reap from it". So there. Now you have it. Go for it. Just buy it. You'll love it and for the low price of $xx.xx its worth it (ok, so a Ron Popeil look-a-like I ain't, but hey!) Want a personalized endorsement for this book? ...
