Summary: Blessed Are the Cheesemakers (From Monty Python's Life of Brian)
Comment: I make cheese, run a website and forum at CheeseForum org, and got this book to broaden my knowledge of different cheeses. "The Murray's Cheese Handbook" is a long thin ½ in/1 cm thick format good for putting in a pocket. It was written by the current owner of the famous Murray's Cheese Store in New York City, USA. It has the normal intro and FAQ and pairing with wine sections but the bulk of the book is a listing and summary of 300+ of the author's favorite US and international cheeses, roughly ½ a page per cheese, no pictures. Nice quality paper, binding and cover that would stand up to many trips in pocket while visiting cheese stores. But, if you want more details and pictures there are better albeit bigger encyclopedia type books out there.

Summary: Fromage overload
Comment: I would love a few pictures of the lesser known cheeses. What a bonus - it fits in my handbag.

Summary: good, to an extent...
Comment: but unfortunately, most of the cheeses I tried to look up were not among the more than 300 described here. I gave this to my brother as a gift and we took it along to the local Central Market in Dallas. Most of the cheeses we were interested in couldn't be found in the book. Recommended, but with reservations - the descriptions of the cheeses that are actually in the book are truly mouth-watering.

Summary: Great Guide
Comment: I gave this book as a Christmas gift after seeing Rob Kaufelt on Martha Stewart. The handbook was very interesting and the recipients loved it. Fun for those who love cheese and may be visiting the shop in NYC.

Summary: a cheese lover's delight
Comment: The Murray's Cheese Handbook by Rob Kaufelt and Liz Thorpe is just like the cheeses described in their book: easy to enjoy, simple yet with depth, and something that you will want to revisit again and again.
