It's not bad. I think it needed more art. It fits in well with the  
other Food in Art books.

My review in part said
"rather marvelous literary work. For those that like to read about art  
and history (in this case food in art.). it's very satisfying. For  
those that would rather look and want lots of pictures, perhaps less  
satisfying. 75 listed illustrations-many quite small and not in color."

You may be able to get a used or discounted copy of the hardback if  
you look.
