Excellent book! Gave very concise details for building the dryer, which we did! Author not partial to self, included other dryer options and features. Gave great information relative to drying which included layman terms from beginning to end. I highly recommend this book to home gardeners looking for a food storage alternative.
far to much time/space explaining how/why dehydration works and comparing other styles of dehydrators that you would have to purchase some one else's plans for to be able to see/make. Really only wanted detailed plans for making a simple solar dehydrator. If you like lots of back story- you'll enjoy this. If like me, you just wanted a how to book, the first 2/3 of the book will annoy you.

I wanted to learned how to dry food properly & since we will not have electricity when we move shortly this book seemed to be the natural choice. It is extremely informative with easy to understand instructions & pictures. We just finished building our solar dryer & have apple slices drying on it. It was so easy. I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest in dehydrating foods, especially homesteaders.
The book was O K. It did not cover what I wanted about hoe to prepare food for drying
