* Notice: I want to start by making it very clear here: This review is from the Kindle edition of the book!

When I bought this book, I was under the asumption that it was targeted toward a beginner cheese maker. I have read all of the introductory material and glanced through nearly all recipes. Please consider my review from this perspective.
