For many, summer's gustatory raison d'etre is the season's bounty of fresh fruit. But in American supermarkets, it's not always possible to know which fruits are at their optimal ripeness. For those not blessed with easy access to an orchard or vineyard, Gorman comes to the rescue with Fruit: The Ripe Pick . Short of having one's own personal expert, Gorman's guide offers the next best thing: sound, simple instructions on picking the best produce, both common and exotic, that the market offers. She also surveys each fruit's nutritional content, seasonality, varieties, and storage advice. Every fruit also has a catalog of historical and scientific miscellany to round out its listing. A bibliography with Web sites adds to the book's utility. Mark Knoblauch
