Title: If you've read one Livingston book, you've literally read them all.
Product review: I picked up three different A.D. Livingston books at the library, one on sausage making, one on making jerky, and this edition on cold smoking and salt curing. A good forty to fifty percent of the text is identical from book to book. I don't mean similar, I mean copied word for word. That's quite a racket. Just keep selling the same text under different names.As to the book itself, I found the instructions to be vague and incomplete. It would provide nothing to the experienced user and confuse the heck out of a novice. The recipes were not particularly useful, as they are simple, common items and not at all innovative or intriguing. There are several good books on smoking and curing meat on the market. This is not one of them.
