The very small print is extremely difficult to read. I passed on buying this book because of this factor--and I love to bake and am always looking to add a good baking book to my collection. Otherwise, the recipes look good and the photos are lovely.

This book has some good recipes and beautiful photos, but it has one huge negative: the teeny tiny type! I've never encountered a cookbook with such small type. It's difficult enough to sit and read the book, but going back and forth when you're cooking is almost impossible. It would be worth paying a few more dollars to make the book more readable.

I think this book has a lot of variety. Instead of just sweets it offers an array of savory baked goods that are great for entertaining. I made the rum-scented marbled cake (I thought it needed more rum. Great pictures though that show good step by step guides.
