Review: Good book on juicing, with minor errors.

The book has plenty of useful advice on juicing that a complete beginner will find very helpful. I liked the common fruits and vegetables used for juicing section, where the author listed the most popular fruits and veggies used for juicing and their benefits, which I found very interesting. I learned a lot about what each fruit contains and how it helps the body.The recipes are ok, even though some of them sound a bit strange. One particular recipe calls for a whole lemon, peel included. Now, the peel is very bitter, so I doubt this particular juice will be drinkable. I might be mistaking, though, I didn't try the recipe. I will try it, and update the review should this not be true.Another thing I found to be faulty was the part where the author states that "You may not necessarily need a juicing machine in order to make juice. You can use a blender for most whole pieces of fruit and vegetables so that you can keep the fiber". Well, that is no longer a juice, it is a smoothie, which is a different thing altogether.All in all, this is a good book, good starting point for a beginner. Are there other juicing books, catered to beginners, that are better than this one? Sure. But for me, if I learn at least one new thing out of a book, it's well worth the purchase. And there are plenty of things to learn from this little guide.
