J & A Churchill Ltd, London 1949, 287pp. Hardcover. Former library usual markings, stamps, stickers but otherwise good condition.

'The production of canned foods has now become a major industry in many countries throughout the world. It is not surprising, therefore, that every aspect of the industry has been the subject of exhaustive scientific investigation, and that whereas fifty years ago little was known of the fundamental principles underlying the canning process there is today a voluminous and ever expanding literature on the subject scattered throughout the scientific and technical journals of the world. The present volume is written, therefore, not merely as a description of the methods of the industry, but also to provide the reader with an account of the fundamental considerations upon which modern canning is based.' (From the Preface)
