Book Reviews of Alton Brown's Gear for Your Kitchen
Book Review: TV's Cooking and Kitchen Expert writes well too!
Summary: 4 Stars
Alton Brown's book on equipping your kitchen is terrific. It covers all the bases in words and good illustrations. It is informative and humorous at the same time. I'd buy it again. I refer to it all the time.Book Review: Great book, but bad packaging job by Amazon....
Summary: 3 Stars
I am really enjoying reading this book. I first checked it out of the library, but it's a little dense to read cover to cover. Plus, I find it a great reference as I fill out my kitchen gear collection.
What I would like to recommend is that you only purchase this book either by itself or with other books, to enjoy the shrink-wrap protection. The soft cover dirties easily. While Amazon normally shrink-wraps all books, this book was packed in with the crepe-maker I bought, without any overwrap or other sort of protection. When it arrived, the cover was noticeably dirty. I would not have felt comfortable giving it as a gift, and would have returned it if the item were not for myself. Shame on you, Amazon!
Book Review: Don't waste your money on this exact reprint of the hardback
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a good book, and I recommend it.
However, this paperback edition with ISBN of 1584796960 is identical in every respect to the widely available (in good used condition) hardback (which has an ISBN of 1584792965). The only changes that were made (between the hardcover edition and this paperback reprint) were the cover design and the copyright page.
So you can SAVE YOUR MONEY and buy a used hardback copy (for considerably less than this paperback version) at:
