Title: Ostentatious analysis of an otherwise simple subject
Review: If you are looking for enjoyable reading of or about community cookbooks, don't buy this book. If you are looking for ostentatious babble about analyzing community cookbooks this one is for you. The authors wordiness never quite gets to the point, however there are a few glimmers of. interest offered by some of the contributing essayists in the book. Unfortunately those sparks of historical information and excerpts really do not hold on to interest for the rest of the book.
