The Black Truffle. It’s History, Uses and Cultivation.

Ian Hall and Gordon Brown. Invermay Agricultural Centre, Mosgiel.

At the time of publication interest in truffles as a crop was in its early stages. This book was intended to promote the idea and introduced potential growers to what they needed to know in order to establish a truffiere in New Zealand. The book includes a price list for truffle infected hazel plants at $40.00 each. Historically interesting, with colour photographs.
