General Information
Preserved a book written by Nick Sandler and Johnny Acton.
My wife (with the kids) got me this book for a Fathers Day present about 5 years ago now and I've read it back to front several times. Plus, I keep it as a reference and there are plenty of preserving recipes I'm yet to try.
Published by Kyle Books in the UK initially in 2004, this book is a fabulous read and resource for anyone considering preserving their own food.
The book is a large 25 x 22 cm size paperback or hard cover and has excellent photos taken by Peter Cassidy.
There are 12 sections/chapters each one outlining different preserving techniques; such as, Drying, salting, pickling, smoking, bottling & canning, freezing, and Alcohol.
The explanations are easy to understand and along with hints/tips and "how to" are recipes for using your preserved products.
The book may be several years old now but it has been re-released since so it is obviously still popular. You can get it on eBay.

Pros
My only small criticism would be more images to go with step-by-step explanations would be handy and enhance the overall experience.
But, I do understand there is limited space in a large book such as this, especially when there is quite a lot of written information required.
