For you bibliophiles out there, just got in a new book by John Train entitled, "The Orange: Golden Joy" that was released last year; Hardbound, 111 pages, color photographs. I've only thumbed through it so far, but my take so far -- not big enough to be called a coffeetable book, in my mind, but its value is more in the pictures, historical tidbits and various recipes, rather than as a "how to" book on growing citrus. Has a list of varieties, but these are very brief, so again buy it for the pictures, not for anything practical -- otherwise not bad.

Table of Contents:

Foreword
Origins
Garden of the Hesperides
The House of Orange
Gardens and Orangeries
The Orange in Art
Citrus on Shipboard
The Many Uses of Citrus
Cultivating the Orange
Cooking with Citrus
Orange Drinks
Varieties

Thanks Gene. Your post makes me think it might be interesting and infomative to have a "Book Review" section on our forum. Any other thoughts along that line?

Ned, I think that's a good idea -- but I wonder whether there's enough books out there for a section all to itself? I included this one here in this section because of the recipes; but maybe book reviews would fit well under 'Citrus News'?
