Dewey Decimal Number: 741.5973 EAN: 9781561633838 ISBN: 1561633836 Label: Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing Manufacturer: Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 129 Publication Date: 2004-05 Publisher: Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing Sales Rank: 1239466 Studio: Nantier Beall Minoustchine Publishing Editorial Review: Chocolate is on the minds of many ladies most of the time, and we're lucky that cartoonist Barstow has been willing to share her own obsession with it. Why do women crave it, anyway? Why is it more important than love? How many uses can one find for it? These and other questions may be answered - or not - in these cool cartoons about women and their not so secret madness. Ranging from 'laugh out loud' to 'I gotta send this to a friend,' the over 120 drawings here are New Yorker-type cartoons with a distinctive girly slant. The pen-and-ink line drawings with wash are reproduced well in this medium-sized hardcover. Quotations on chocolate from authors like Mel Gibson to George Bernard Shaw are also included, and an amusing foreword by Ruth Levy Beranbaum (author of 'The Cake Bible,') proves she's a chef who can laugh at her own delicious words. Chocolate! is the perfect gift or collectible for foodies, cartoon lovers, and, of course, collectors of all things chocolate.
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Nice collectible graphic novelOne of the other comments said the cartoons are like the New Yorker...so she didn't like this book. Well, I do like the New Yorker cartoons, so I loved it! But these don't toe the line the way NY cartoons do, so kudos to the author for taking on a topic that's feminine and feisty. I also like that it's a hardback. I deserve it! Rating: - They Want This Book!What do women really want? They want this book! It's full of New Yorker style cartoons about a love in the lives of many women and men: chocolate. Although I personally "would not cross the street" for chocolate (a phrase I picked up from an Irish friend), I still find it very funny. If you have any chocolate lovers in your life, this book is a MUST for birthdays, Valentine's Day, Christmas, your second date -- whatever! The only complaint is if I read it another time, I might start crossing the street, too. Rating: - Funny for men too . . .I bought this book for my girlfriend as a Christmas gift and nearly kept it for myself. The humor is top-notch -- every joke tickled my funny bone. And after laughing myself from the first page to the last, what do I have to say? Men really want chocolate too. Rating: - Great gift ideaPerfect gift for the chocoholic. Clever. Artistic. And very funny. I not only laughed, I could practically taste the chocolate.
