I agree with the fact that the $4.00 book is old (1968), good point. Serious 
horticulture students should absolutely get the latest version.
It is only $65.00

I bought some pears the other day. They needed a few days to ripen, but my
son couldn't wait. I cut up the green-ripe pear, and my son went off to eat
it in the playroom. I found a few pieces of the pear a couple weeks later.
My son couldn't eat all the pieces and didn't bring them into the kitchen.
Too much work. He just put them on a random surface and forgot about them.
When I found them, they had dehydrated naturally. I decided to try a nibble.
Wow. The green-ripe pear had transformed into a taste treat. I may dehydrate
a green-ripe pear on purpose to see if I can reproduce this good texture and
flavor.
