OK, well I had a whole review posted, which got deleted without posting... sigh... let's try that one again.

I picked up this book for free, as I happen to be a newish/beginner canner/pickler/preserver, and I'm definitely obsessed. I have been getting my hands on every book on the subject that I can.

This is such an interesting, historical look at how canning has evolved over the years. Some things are much the same as we do it today, and other methods are much, much different.

It's not a beginner book, and I wouldn't take this book without a big grain of salt, as preserving methods have come a long way.
