Cheese Maven's Choice [Posted on 2007-01-03]
Cheese is not only my profession, it is my passion. I have a large collection of books about cheese. "Cheese: A Connoisseur's Guide to the World's Best" is an excellent reference, and the perfect complement to McCalman's "The Cheese Plate." Although less comprehensive than the classic "Cheese Primer" by Steven Jenkins, I find McCalman's guide, with its luscious photos, truely a "connoisseur's guide" rather than an encyclopedia. Unfortunately, the majority of the world-class cheeses that McCalman so beautifully depicts and describes, are not widely available throughout the US. What a shame!

This my second cheese book. My first one, "Cheese Primer" didn't list many of the cheeses our local gourmet store carries. This does, and then some. I don't always agree with his ratings, but the descriptions are accurate. Best read if you already know something about cheese and want to expand your horizons.
Great reference for the cheese snob in your life :) [Posted on 2007-12-26]
My wife bought me this book for Christmas and I couldn't be happier. From the wonderful descriptions and histories to the expectations from each cheese, I am in 7th heaven. For anyone looking to expand their cheese knowledge, I highly recommend this book.

This is a very informative book but if you have any eye trouble the gray print makes it hard to read.
Great book for Cheese lovers [Posted on 2008-06-01]
Great cheese reference guide. Not a complete encyclopedia (check out the world encyclopedia of cheese) but a great recommendation of the personal top 200 cheeses by a well known specialist in the field.
Well worth it.
