Query: not the best book for the home preserver

The good points are it has good tables on conversion - any cookbook has them.The bad points: few recipes even common ones, obscure organization - want to know about pickles? or applesauce? nope. Wants to be a text book but falls flat on its spine. I won't even donate mine to the school library. Shoot don't be a sucker on this one.
