Tropical Fruits of Asia

Lavishly illustrated with full colour photographs of tropical fruits on every page, this book is perfect as a pictorial summary of the subject matter. Written in a simple, concise yet entertaining fashion, this book describes the fruits one species to a page. Though brief, the book manages to squeeze in much of the important information including the common and scientific names. This includes descriptions on how the fruits are served and eaten. Also, the sidebars list the common names of each fruit in Thai and Malay which would be useful in trying to find them in Thailand, Malaysia or Indonesia. My only complaint is that the book is a bit pricey for the size (it really is very thin).
