I have reached an age where my train of thought often leaves the station without me...

The book I have is the one with the ISBN of 0-7513-0345-3, can't find the ISBN on amazon, but when I put the isbn in to google, it brings up one of the amazon entries, still can't believe they are charging that much..will take a bit more care of the book now and stop chucking it across the kitchen when I can't find the recipe I want.

Seems like it's an expensive book - Abe's ones are and the only copy in the UK on ebay is £65! Think I'll give one of the others a go!
Ruth - I would give Abe books a call and ask them what is the cheapest they can supply the book to you - sometimes the owners of the books will sell more cheaply than is advertised + the shipping from US isn't always that expensive. I bought a book from them that was in the US and the postal charges were about £5. I am tempted to ask them myself - about the one they have for around £10. It might not be in great condition but as long as its readable then I would consider it.
Would be interested to see how you get on......good luck.

marguerite patten 500 jams and preserves , still one of the best
Just ordered a used copy of this book on Abe books which is coming from USA. To buy a copy of it here in UK would cost from £18.90 up to £23 but hopefully the copy from USA shouldn't be more than £12.60. Will have to wait a bit for delivery but I'm hoping it wont be too long.

I'm still waiting for my book from the US
I knew it would take a while but been 10 weeks and still no sign of it. Hoping it will be here in time for next years jamming sessions
I quite like the River Cottage books. The recipes are good old fashioned basic ones but that suits me and they have lots of great info in them.

What a coincidence because my copy of the new Oded Schwartz preserving book (from Amazon, costing £11.38 with free delivery) is due to arrive tomorrow. I am really looking forward to it, as I can't afford the first one he wrote.
I just hope we have a better spring & summer next year so we get a better crop from the garden, this year was a disaster for me or my neighbours, no fruit at all.

I see Amazon have used copies of this book for sale at £14.92 plus £2.80 postage. I presume this is he original version.
I am tempted to send off for one of these as everyone speaks so highly of it.
Does anyone know what the difference is between the original and the new version please?
I mean are there the same recipes in both books.
