I'm buying copies of this book for my gardening friends. I bought my first copy almost 15 years ago and I was able to start a food garden with less space than I thought possible. When we moved into a house I didn't waste any space and made myself a 10x8 raised bed and had lettuce, tomatoes, chard, onions, garlic, and much more. It cut my grocery bills way down and we were eating fresh veggies daily. The thing I liked best was ways to combat pests using other plants, like garlic, to reduce or eliminate my use of pesticide. A definite plus. I would recommend this to beginner and advanced gardeners alike. The techniques I've read about turn everything I had been taught before upside down, but I've never had better results. I'm a believer in Square Foot Gardening.
