New York Times (03/24/2002) - by Fabricant, Florence
"[E]mphasizes growing but is so filled with history, lore and tips for cooking and serving that you don`t have to be a gardener to enjoy it."
New York Times Book Review (06/02/2002) - by Klinkenborg, Verlyn
"[A] few moments alone with her book is enough to convince you that Goldman is in the grip of an overwhelming mania for melons, a mania that has clearly enslaved her reason and diligence. She has made it impossible to read MELONS FOR THE PASSIONATE GROWER without wanting to grow the fruits it contains, grow them passionately and ensure that they keep being grown. It doesn`t hurt that Victor Schrager`s photographs turn the most voluptuous of these melons...into veritable nudes. [This] Is the rarest of garden books, the kind that seems utterly complete and completely useful."
