Haven't figured out yet how to reply to postings that I read with 
Internet Explorer.  I have opted not to download messages, so I
have to create new threads.  Sorry.

This book has been invaluable to me as a concise reference to fruits
which I am interested in.  It gives valuable information on parentage,
taste, growable zones, etc.  The big problem is that is not complete
as far as new varieties and all nurseries providing various varieties.
Some of the nurseries have gone out of business, since it was last
published.

The good news is that I'm hearing that they will be coming out with
an updated edition, perhaps in 2009.  I will be sure to buy it.  True,
it has it's flaws, but it is the closest thing to a comprehensive
guide to fruit, berries, and nuts that I know of.  If I want more
details, I just google for them.
