This is a wonderful way to peek inside the mind of a Civil War soldier. The letters are preserved to reflect his writing style and grammar as no editing was done to the actual letters. It gives the reader a real insight to what the soldier's life was like. The author adds timelines and a brief bio after the completion of the letters to summarize some interesting facts after the ending of the Civil War. There were many times that I wanted to Google some phrases that Ira used in his letters to further understand exactly what he was talking about. I don't know much about the vocabulary of the military so for those who are actively involved in the Civil War reenactments this would not be necessary. This book would be an excellent summer read ... Read More:

I picked this up while browsing a Sale Cookbook section in a NYC Barnes and Noble.
It reminded me more than anything my love of cheese from my early years while growing up in Poland. Oh I loved melting it and putting it in everything I ate.
This book gives a great introduction to the types of cheese and what they are good for. It's helpful when facing a cheese display in my favorite grocery store with a look of confusion my face. This breaks it down to great types of cheeses out there and best ways of using them.
This book has recipes for cheese sandwiches, soups, baked and fried appetizers and many more branches of cheese use.
Great buy, it really focuses on the main ingredient!

I loved this book. This guy is a genius, his understanding of sarcasm is perfect. I think one should always remember to laugh at one self, if you don't, others will. For all of us who read "Who Moved My Cheese", laugh at yourself, read this book.

I am giving this book five stars without having made a single recipe. As another reviewer pointed out, the 'Easy Recipe Finder' is an awesome way to browse through the recipes real quick to find a recipe to suit your needs or your fancy. If only all cookbooks were this handy to use! On top of that great list, there are comparisons of the baking techniques, cheese, pastas, spices, and toppings. This cookbook will be a handy reference for years to come!
