What Customers Say About The Lost Crops of the Incas: Little-known Plants of the Andes With Promise for Worldwide Cultivation:

No. The book is a little dry, but you'd expect that from something by the National Research Council. It just needs a little R & D. Well it could be the next big bean to replace soy. The information within is concise, well-organized and extremely impressive. Have you ever heard of Tarwi before.
The book also has lower altitude plants used by the Incas. I found this book full of very useful information of food plants from the high altitudes of the Andes.
