Verde Claro tomato variety
I have a picture of this variety of mine posted on the left somewhere. Harvested yesterday.
This clone and many related clones is part of my breeding work and stabilizing new lines thereof. Note the ripe ones! Hard to tell with its clear epidermis and green when ripe traits are factored in.

The Heirloom Tomato from Garden to Table by Amy Goldman
I cannot recommend more highly for everyone to go buy a copy of Amy's new book.
Amy was kind enough to send out advanced copies of the books to contributors and I suppose I qualified for that. Wow! Does she ever make me look good and my tomato varieties look even better with world class photos by Victor Schrager and Amy's hard work growing these varieties and writing about tomatoes in the most loving way.
The publish date is for tomorrow, August 5, 2008, so you can imagine my thrill in getting a first-hand look at this remarkable book.
As follows is a discussion forum I started at Amazon.com about her book:

Thomas Wagner says: I have been waiting for this book for over a year. Amy Goldman has done a masterful job growing and describing the "World's Most Beautiful Fruit" and that is the tomato!
Victor Schrager's photo work is just phenomenal as well!
I have much interest in the book since Amy and Victor have captured the art of some of my own creations in tomato breeding. I cannot describe or show pictures better than what Amy Goldman has done in this soon to be classic book on Heirloom Tomatoes.
What are the names of my tomatoes that are cherished varieties and artworks? Simply go to the pages where Green Zebra, Green Sleeves, Banana Legs, Cream Sausage, Brown Flesh, Brown Derby, Schimmeig Stoo, Schimmeig Creg, Chile Verde, Green Grape, Elberta Girl, Lime Green Salad, Casady's Folly and others are presented. Note, too, that many additional varieties have been created by others out of natural crosses and selfing populations of some of my lines.
If you want to know about histories of many heirloom tomatoes and how to use them in recipes; this is your book.
