by Amy Goldman
Amazon Price: $23.10
Customer Review: I was not sure about this book, but was interested in possibly growing heirloom tomatoes. The Heirloom Tomato turned out to be a surprisingly good book. Outstanding photography of all the varieties, plus detailed information on each tomato, its history, flavor, appearance and use. Information on raising heirlooms, saving seeds, and even breeding is included.Tomatoes have never been so interesting. Definitely a worthwhile investment, even if you don't grow any.

Customer Review: This book got me hooked on vegetable gardening at the age of 62. It is simple, strauight forward,and encouraging. Dr. Male's book introduced me to heirloom tomatoes and the explantions of what to expect and how to solve or avoid problems made me feel comfortable to go forward. I bought the book two years ago, and I still go back to review and look up things that I forgot. The book also has great pictures of the tomatoes that she writes about.
The Heirloom Tomato Cookbook
by Mimi Luebbermann
Amazon Price: $11.53
Customer Review: This is a fantastic book if you love tomatoes, especially heirloom tomatoes. It has so much information inside of it. Wines to go with them, salads to make out of them, chutneys & how to make preserves, soups, salsas, bruschettas to make out of them the list goes on. They also have a chapter on "growing and cultivating". I've only had one salad out of this book since I just received it and it was delicious. If you're a tomato lover you probably would like this book of recipes too. Enjoy it!

by Lawrence Davis-Hollander
Amazon Price:
Customer Review: I have read this book from cover to cover and can't wait for my tomatoes to ripen. This is my first year of growing hierloom tomatoes and "Tomato Festival Cookbook" is and excellent resource with a lot of great recipes. It also includes several lists of various people's favorite heirloom tomato choices. I am sure, some I planted will not be my favorites and will be replace by other varieties mentioned in "The Tomato Festival Cookbook" next year. What a great gift for a tomato lover, cook or tomato gardener. Even better if a person is all three!
Heirloom: Notes from an Accidental Tomato Farmer
by Tim Stark
Amazon Price: $11.20
Customer Review: I was quite disappointed in this book: it does not grip you, the narrative is not linear, and I quite missed what I was really looking for: the story of the making of a farm. This does not come across well. For a nice account of Greenmarket in NY, read "stronger than dirt", it is MUCH better.
