Stuff I Read
I read quite a few books on the Tomato odyssey. Despite the seeming omnipresence of the Information Superhypeway most everything worth knowing is still in a traditional library. Fortunately I have three branches of the Edmonton Public Library (EPL) system within easy reach, and a library card only costs $12 a year (Canadian! nearly free to everyone else in the world, but you have to be here). The list is created post hoc (therefore incomplete) and sorted by author(s).
