Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Comprehensive enough for any cheese lover!
Okay, I am a confirmed turophile; I love cheese. This book is more than comprehensive. The Primer lacked good colorful pictures to show off the various popular cheeses. I ended up buying another book just so I could see what the cheeses should actually look like. I need to see visuals!! I did not care for the crowded copy either. It was also a little too textbookish for me. Definitely not for the coffee table, but a good resource guide.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - excellant condition
received the book that was rated used and was pleasantly surprised. it was like new thank you very much for having these types of books available it helps people like me on a budget.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Wow! A terrific book on a tasty subject
I wish that every town could have a cheesemonger as knowledgeable and friendly as Steven Jenkins. If you're ever in New York, bring this book to Fairway and have him sign it for you (and, of course, ask him to recommend some of the many incredible cheeses in his portion of the store). This book accomplishes what all great works do: it makes you hungry for more. Highly recommended.



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Good, but getting out of date

A good introduction to cheese, with details about specific European cheeses (especially French) for the more advanced cheesehead. Good general overviews of the countries, and comments about some of the strengths and short-comings of each. Unfortunately, this book is going on 12 years old so it's almost irrelevant for locating specific cheeses.
The section on the U.S. is especially out-of-date as the artisinal industry has continued to explode since publishing. Worth a buy and a browse for $10, but there must be something better out there.
