I am a newbie gardener and I found myself with an abundance of vegetables that I wanted to preserve for the winter months. I have never canned and I was nervous about botulism and other foodborne illnesses. The Ball Book of canning & preserving is very informative and has pertinent information about safety measures, to ensure you canned your goods properly. In addition it has delicious recipes that I can't wait to try out and share with family and friends.
