4.0 out of 5 stars
It was worth the $1 that I paid for it...3.5 stars
In reality, this book is probably closer to a 3 star rating. However, given what I believe to be a rather unfair "1 star" rating on the part of the previous reviewer, I feel the need to counter-balance the negativity with a positive review. Granted, this book is a bit of a fluff piece. However, for just one dollar (purchased at a nationally known discount book store) the...

A pretty trifle
This little book, the size of a CD jewel case, stretches a few short articles on champagne to fit 64 pages. There are pretty pictures, and some amusing type design. It might make a nice accompaniment to a gift of champagne, but if you're looking, as I was, for something substantive on the history and making of champagne, forget it.

This review is from: Bubbly (Hardcover)
This little book, the size of a CD jewel case, stretches a few short articles on champagne to fit 64 pages. There are pretty pictures, and some amusing type design. It might make a nice accompaniment to a gift of champagne, but if you're looking, as I was, for something substantive on the history and making of champagne, forget it. In any event, I'm deeply suspicious of any book that comes with a list of places to buy "glasses and other bubbly accessories."

This review is from: Bubbly (Hardcover)
In reality, this book is probably closer to a 3 star rating. However, given what I believe to be a rather unfair "1 star" rating on the part of the previous reviewer, I feel the need to counter-balance the negativity with a positive review. Granted, this book is a bit of a fluff piece. However, for just one dollar (purchased at a nationally known discount book store) the book presents a cursory introduction to the world of champagne and sparkling wine. Moreover, the photography of the book is aesthetically pleasing as well. In essence this is a miniature coffee table book; it's something that you might keep with photographic books about chocolate or tea - a kind of decorative book to be thumbed through occasionally during festive times of the year.If you can find this book on a discount shelf for $1 or $2, it's worth purchasing. |
