    January Book Selection:
    The Sound Of A Wild Snail Eating by Elisabeth Tova Bailey

    In a work that beautifully demonstrates the rewards of closely observing nature, Elisabeth Tova Bailey shares an inspiring and intimate story of her encounter with a Neohelix albolabris—a common woodland snail.

    While not exactly a food book per se, it does have eating in the title!
