Industry Reviews

From the reviews:

"This new book is very wide-ranging. ... The editors are to be commended for bringing so many researchers together to produce such a wide-ranging and authoritative synthesis, which will surely be the key reference work in desert truffles, in the Mediterranean region particularly, for some decades." (IMA Fungus, Vol. 4 (1), December, 2013)
