A carefully curated and deliciously styled reference work that’s appropriate for public and academic libraries. Readers will enjoy this gastronomic delight of food science, Japanese cuisine, and its cultural aspects.
This volume is well-researched, not to mention thorough and well-presented. Given the breadth of Christie’s life and work, it would be a worthwhile addition to an academic or public library collection.
Some of the pictures detract from the overall value of the images, but this is still an essential purchase for all libraries that support an active fine arts program.
The reference use of the title will be high, but consider buying it for the circulating collection too, for this is a work that readers will pore over.
