This is a very good reference book. It covers a diverse array of food preservation techniques, including drying, freezing, blanching, canning, making pickles, jams, jellies, etc.
I have only prepared the Spicy Salsa recipe, but it worked really well. The explicit instructions for canning were a useful reminder, and even more important, they would be easy to follow for a novice.
One thing I really like about this book is that it is written for busy people. The author (Janet Chadwick) gives advice for streamlining food preservation so it fits a modern lifestyle.
This isn't a sexy glossy book with color pictures. However, there are line illustrations to show techniques, and they are effective.
