Lately Captain ILL has been choosing books with titles that speak for themselves, and Beet Sugar Handbook is no exception. This monster 866 page book is "The first all-in-one reference for the beet-sugar industry". Captain ILL didn't even know that there was a beet-sugar industry, but he's glad that there is now an all-in-one reference for it. He can't help but wonder how the beet-sugar industry got along without this book which, incidentally, is "written in a conversational, engaging style". In spite of this engaging style, most of the book is way over Captain ILL's head, but he was pleased to note that beets are, in fact, grown on farms.

Beets, wonderful beets. Whenever beets are mentioned I think of Jitterbug Perfume by Tom Robbins. If memory serves, Mr. Robbins mentions beets on every page. You have to admire someone who can work a beet into every page and get away with it.
