Book - Under the Fig Leaf - recipes

I just ran across what appears to be a relatively new book containing about 130 fig recipes.  I have not seen the book, but an Amazon description says the following:


  "In addition to 130+ great fig recipes, this cookbook includes educational information about figs: preparation, selection, freezing, drying options, rehydration, packaging, and storage tips. A fabulous horticulture guide to growing fig trees and includes contact information for frequently used products and fig trees."  

  There is a blog entry here that gives some background on the book and the author.   http://avantisavoia.blogspot.com/2009/10/under-fig-leaf.html  Has anyone seen this book yet?

Dearest Ingevald,

Ever on the lookout for a buy, I went looking for a used copy of "Under the Fig Leaf" on Ebay, only to discover that there is ANOTHER book of the same name that predates that of Sherri Parker Lee's book by  several years (1999).  For the record, it has NOTHING to do with cuisine.  Caveat emptor.

Yes - I now see that there are two different books with the same title.   Make sure you look for the one by Sherri P. Lee or you will be quite surprised when you open the box containing your newly ordered book.

I have Fig heaven, it's a nice book with lots of photos. It talks a little on fig history and cultivation in california. As well as description of some varieties.
