Book Reviews of The Solar Food Dryer: How to Make and Use Your Own Low-Cost, High Performance, Sun-Powered Food Dehydrator

Book Review: Food Drying
Summary: 4 Stars

Book is short and easy to read. I am an engineer and the designs are good, however I feel that there can be some overall improvements not necessarly to the design only but to the consrtuction. I plan to draft a set of working drawings to check out my ideas and then make a "Throw-away" sample prior to building an actual working dryer. I have all kinds of scrap in the shop to do this with that wouldn't last long out in the sun all day. I can probably get some test food free from a local market because it is past it's selling quality. I am happy with the book and plan to read it again.
