Reviews

"The book by my bed is one of the most American gardening tomes ever published, Edward C. Smith s "The Vegetable Gardener s Bible." "?The New York Times Book Review" "Smith...clearly explains everything novice and experienced gardeners need to know to grow vegetables and herbs using his system of wide, deep, raised beds." "?Library Journal" "An abundance of photographs...visually bolster the techniques described, while frequent subheads, sidebars and information-packed photo captions make the layout user-friendly...[Smith's] book is thorough and infused with practical wisdom and a dry Vermont humor that should endear him to readers." "?Publishers Weekly" "There are 550 color photographs that complement the informative text." "?Booklist" "Smith gives insight into the gardening world through pictures, sidebars and a thick easy-to-use section on nurturing vegetables with names A-Z...with pictures of Smith's garden to illustrate the conversational text." "?Today's Librarian" "[Smith's] advice, hints, illustrations and charts will benefit any gardener." "?ForeWord" "
