Summary: An excellent compendium of cheese varieties
Review: This book does a great job of reviewing cheeses from around the world. It is entertaining to read and very informative. There are good quality photos of each of the cheeses, detailed description with history, anecdotes, wine recommendations, fat composition and occasionally a recipe. This book is more for learning about cheeses than about cooking with cheeses. The size of the book is small enough that you can inconspicuously take it to your local cheese shop and use it as a reference.
