Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Great book on the history of salt & its production & collection & distribution. A lot of world history is covered along the way; very interesting. I had never thought of all the uses of salt and all the places where it has been found & mined & collected. Or from how deep in the earth it is mined. Or that there were mines below Avery Island, where world-famous Tabasco sauces are made. Fascinating stuff. Read it on my Kindle; borrowed from the library (on hold for quite awhile, due to its popularity).
