Summary: Check out this review from Booklist.
Review: In this meditative celebration ... Hauser reflects on Native American traditions and on the process she herself uses when making maple syrup in northern Minnesota. In what is as much a practical guide as a personal essay, Hauser writes with beauty and simplicity about the joys of collecting the sap as soon as it begins to flow, and of what she has learned over the years about cooking it down into syrup. She also observes and celebrates the return of bald eagles, the slow transition from winter to spring, and the stately forests surrounding her home, at the same time offering a handful of recipes featuring maple sugar. Her lyrical ode describes in brief various types of maple trees, recommending the best ones to employ for sugaring. Booklist

Summary: Impressive
Review: Sugartime combines the romance and poetry of this outdoor activity with incerted sections that answer basic questions for the novice.The author tells the story of how she (and her husband?) have been drawing and boiling down maple syrup from their 22 trees in the back yard over the past 20+? years. This book answered most of my basic questions about sugaring, but some more questions were raised as I finished the book. Overall it has been very helpful in getting started.

Summary: Sugartime -- Easy-to-read introduction to maple sugaring
Review: Sugartime: The Hidden Pleasures of Making Maple Syrup with a primer for the Novice Sugarer by Susan Carol Hauser is written in such a way that as the author describes her personal account with sugaring, it is easy for the reader to absorb practical knowledge. I was able to acquire some insight into the process of sugaring, even though I have never done it before. This book is inspirational for those who feel a nostalgia for the country, practical for those who would like to learn more about amateur sugaring. This is not a comprehensive or technical work, but, rather is an interesting introduction to maple sugaring. The book includes some recipes and nostalgic pictures.
