This book was just what I was looking for, the voice of experience to guide me, a new fig grower, to success. This is a quick and pleasurable read with all the pertinent details to help you wrap your head around what it takes to help your fig tree live and grow figs.
This is a VERY SHORT self-published book. I found it to be less helpful than an afternoon on YouTube. To be fair, the subtitle does say it is for beginners. If you are an ABSOLUTE beginner with NO experience with figs and you prefer to gain information from books, this might be an ok place to start. Otherwise you can skip it.
To the point information to know how to grow fig trees. Short read. Minimal fig tree varieties mentioned but encourages you to further explore the fig world.
