My next book, this time from Timber Press, is moments away!

It's an odd, little book. There's some gardening, some cooking, some food politics but if you only bought the book for those subjects, you'd be disappointed. It's mostly my about my personal relationship to fifty of my favorite beans. Bean freaks, Rancho Gordo fans and my mother will be happy, I predict.

It's due out May 25th and you can reserve a copy with your independent bookseller, Amazon.com, Powell's, or any of the usual places.
