Falling apart but Usable

Falling apart but Usable
I rented this book for the upcoming semester and it’ll do the job but the hard cover is completely detached from the pages. Making it difficult to transport and effectively use the book. But for a semester I guess it’ll do.
Thank you for your feedback

Reviewed in the United States on July 1, 2015
Very informative. I had to buy this for a class but I will say, it was one of the few textbooks I actually enjoyed reading. That may be because I have a passion for food and cooking. But either way I thought for a textbook it was very fun to read.

Warning: some of the longer chapters really seem to drag on.
