Tends to be rather technical. I judge a book by how often i crack it open. And this is one of the one that hardly is ever opened.
Copies of the out of print Julia Morton "Fruits of Warm Climate" appeared on eBay. The book is currently available online at Purdue University, but what will you do if they take the book offline?http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Fruits-of-Warm-Climates-Morton-Julia-F-/161077646298?ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:3160

It's been published for a long time and you can get back issues and an index to all the back issues.
Hey, I was looking around on the internet and on the forum, Any recommendations for a Lorenzi style book on Asian fruit and nut identification? It seems like the quality and quantity of books drops pretty greatly once you cross the Atlantic. Most of what I've seen for Asian ID is pretty fluffy without much detail or diversity which I know doesn't reflect the actual case of species diversity in that region. Can some one offer up some recommendations and prove me wrong. Thanks in advance and sorry for bumping this 3yr old thread back up the board. Any other books people want to add that were released in the last 3 years would be welcome too. I would say books and fruits hold about equal footing in my heart.
You can preserve your rare collectible books with mylar covers, similar to those used by libraries. Amazon.com has them. Search for "mylar book covers" The pre-cut and folded covers are much easier to use than the rolls of mylar.
