 Great quick overview of composting. June 3, 2008
G. Lavender (Cambridge, Ontario Canada)
Just picked up this book yesterday afternoon and had it finished today. It's an easy quick read and a great introduction to composting. If you are looking at composting your garden and kitchen waste and are just getting started this is for you. Even if you have been doing it a while you will have a better understanding of which ingredients work best and why.
 Easy to follow with great visuals April 29, 2008
R. Neal (Central New York)
After reading this book I had a simple plan to start my own compost pile. What was refreshing was a lack of endorsements for specific products, and the beautiful pictures provided. Now I know how to compost!
Great Book, overall the best overview book I've seen on the subject January 15, 2008

I was thoroughly excited when I received my copy of this book through the mail. Having not been able to find it in the local book stores, I wasn't exactly sure what to expect. The design/layout and content exceeded my expectations. Previously, I hadn't been able to get through the huge books I had on the subject which looked like they were from the 80's. This book however, is thoroughly modern. The pictures and typography make it interesting and a quick read. My only complaint was that it seemed a bit disorganized, the author kept referring to things and would refer to them later in a different example and it was a bit confusing, if not contradictory. Perhaps we just organize our thoughts in different ways. For example, he repeatedly talks about woody waste, in about ten or fifteen different instances and can't seem to make up his mind on exactly how he feels. I understand that the decision to use this type of material is dependent on many other factors, which he explains, but it would have been more helpful to me, if he had said five pages on woody waste all at once rather than the one page he has specifically devoted to it and four others spread throughout the book. That said, it is probably the best organized and most user-friendly book available on the subject.
