Both the TOC (table of contents) function and the organization of the book is very problematic, the content is reasonably trivial — far from encyclopedic, the overall user experience is maddeningly glacial.

Every gardener should own this book, because, in the end, every gardener should grow organically. It’s the essential source and resource.

A fantastic reference. Avoid the Kindle Edition, but, which has navigation suitable for a page turning novel not a reference book.
Example:
TOC – no A-Z link on each page of the TOC to navigate quickly from the TOCs A’s for Artichoke to the P’s for Peat. The reader has to page through screen after screen after screen of TOC to get to the Ps.
TOC links seem to be tied to hard copy page numbers, not Kindle place markers. So links permanently land a screen or two before or after the entry you seek.
Appendix and additional material referenced in the text are not included in the Kindle Edition.
Many reference links inside the text or at foot/end notes for a chapter do not link to the information indicated or are not linked at all.
A lot of reference opportunities are lost because there are no links around in the text.
re the 9.99 Boycott – I reflect reference books fall into different category because it would take two or three times as long to set up this book properly with regards to navigation and the e-book conversion hack should be compensated for taking the time to do the job properly.
But, as it stands this book in Kindle Ed. is a waste of money due to poor navigation.

Getting around in the Kindle Edition of this book is next to impossible. I feel that I completely wasted my money. I won’t buy another Kindle reference book unless its downloadable in a format, such as PDF, that I can search for material. The purpose of the Kindle buy was to eliminate the lugging of multiple books out to my garden this spring. Now I find it is best suited for “brain candy” books LOL. If I am doing something incorrect, I don’t know what it is and would welcome input.

I establish the earlier edition of this book to be the most thorough of the farming books I have collected. It goes into greater depth. For example, it was one of the few all-purpose farming books (as opposed to one on just berries) which mentioned the being of June-impact and everbearing strawberry plants, and the advantages and disadvantage of each. I look forwards to getting this updated edition.
