Review 8/10

This is a great book for both the beginner or the expert. I find that this book can be used both as a entertaining read to learn about cheese or as a reference book. Reminding us of little details. This book is in no way a complete guide to cheeses and it is a little dated. Still, The information in here should be enough for anyone to eat, shop and just over all enjoy cheese more. I found the author to giving a very fare and well rounded point of view to cheese. Sharing their own thoughts and what others may think.
