A Thing of Beauty is a Joy Forever5
"This is such a beautiful book", gushes my husband everytime he picks this book up. Full of details and readable annecdotes about the fruits and varieties selected, it is also a joy to read. Good job Mr Staub. This is also a book for the hunter who wants the best fruit/varieties in their garden.
