4.0 out of 5 stars Good Selection and Full of Pictures
This book has a well done introductory section on tools and techniques. Each recipe has pictures of both preparation and the finished product.

I would recommend this book to both novices wanting to become more experienced cookie bakers and bakers wanting to expand their recipe options.
