This has turned out to be one of my favorite recipe books. I even got a second one as a gift. A lot of good color pics. The recipes are well thought out and explained in the voice of Alton Brown.

I am enjoying reading through the recipes and backstories for Good Eats. I was disappointed that the cover on my $35 book arrived warped.

I already own the 1st 3 books in this series so it made sense to buy the 4th. I am more than pleased with the quality of the writing and the content. You certainly do not need to own his other books to get enjoyment out of this one. But I do believe once you look at this one you'll want to go back and get the others. One thing that I have always liked about Alton Brown's writing and television show is that he goes through the 'why' and not just the 'how' or the 'what'.

Ordered the book mid-November 2021, it arrived today. First edition, first printing, very pleased with that. Very pleased with the book in every way.....except it arrived without a dust cover, hence the downgrade of one star. I know it's a ticky point, but a book of this magnitude and grandeur SHOULD have a dust cover when it's brand new.

I can't say much about the content. As the font is so small it's unreadable. Instead of formatting it for a kindle. it's formatted for a wide page book. Doesn't fit on a phone, tablet or kindle. The pages are much wider then tall. If you hold your tablet vertical you're stuck scrolling back and forth to read a sentence. When held horizontal you have to scroll up and down. That's a real nice pear in that picture, hold on I can only see a third of if let me scroll. If your wondering the really nice pictures interfere with our ability to zoom in and out. Don't stop you from doing it but they sure do get in the way when I all I want to do is read the dam text. I was really looking forward to this book and now I have no choice but to return it.
