Any book suggestions for Preserving and Canning?

I'd like to know more about prepping food for a long shelf life, in case I have to rely only upon garden fruits and vegetables or buying large batches.

1. There's one here

Shakespeare posted a link to a book that's good. Here's the link to the thread. Scroll down a bit to find that posting.

2. Hey, Big Big Thanks, Eleny! I think I'll get that one. Only $5!

4. Yup. It's the best basic canning/freezing guide you can get.

It's my bible during the harvest season! I'm always a little amazed that Ball is still selling it for just $5--what a bargain.

There are several more exotic books out there that are also good, but you just can't beat the Ball guide for the price and for the basic information.

3. "Too Many Tomatoes"

was my food preservation bible back in the 70s. It's probably still in print.
