"I am a lover of melons. I eat watermelons, cantaloupes, Persians, honeydews, and hand melons in season. Now, after perusing this fascinating book, I want to grow and eat every other melon on earth—just to taste the differences, savor the flavors, and see the diverse colors and textures. This book is a feast for the eyes and a serious reminder that biodiversity is admirable and necessary. Amy Goldman is doing a beautiful job in one small area of this science and encourages others to do the same." —Martha Stewart
"Thank goodness for the heirloom seed movement and for Amy, for showing us the way." —Bette Midler
"In this well-researched guide, Amy Goldman expresses the beauty, diversity, and irresisitibility of ripe melons in season." —Alice Waters
