Title: Duplicate recipes of Volume I Review: I purchased this cookbook for my boyfriend who has the first "Garlic Lovers' Cookbook" from Gilroy, which he loves and uses all the time. I assumed these would be new recipes, after all they have this festival every year. He found that all of the recipes were repeats of the original cookbook and we ended up returning it. Very disappointing. Is the review positive or negative?
Negative

Title: Promise you won't tell nobody Review: Great book. Fascinated by life in the south and how these kids were raised with great morals in spite of the abuse. Is the review positive or negative?
Positive

Title: Disappointed Review: I feel bad about giving only 2 stars to a man's life's work but I bought this book on the basis of other reviews that referred to it as comprehensive. Unfortunately it is anything but comprehensive. In almost every second or third song Stan comments that he has had to modify or clean up the lyrics (at the publisher's insistence?). I was looking for a definitive reference point for how sea songs were sung by seamen in the age of sail - this book cannot be that if the songs have been sanitised for the sensibilities of another era.Having said the above, it is still a wonderful book, full of information about how to sing shanties etc. but I am just left wondering what the songs real lyrics were. Is the review positive or negative?
