This is a large scale book fit for your coffee table. The photographs are gorgeous, with the ability to transport you to other times and place, as well as remind the reader where cheese comes from; place, animal, shepherd, makers. The text is quick and easy to read, as well as informative.
All types of cheese are covered ("Eight major families according to hardness and rind"), as well as geographical regions (Northern and Central Europe, France, "Lands of the Sun," (Italy, Spain, Portugal...) and "New Worlds" (US, Canada, Mexico...), along with their cheese history and cheese lore, including original packaging artwork. (You should expect no less from Rizzoli.)

I have used this book for over 30 years--so much so that it is literally falling apart which is why I am going to buy another one. All the recipes are great and fairly easy, you just have to precisely follow her directions.
Buy it, you'll like it!
