Written for an American audience which wasn't declared in any description.
Bought as a present, read in about 20 minutes and probably won't be referred too again which isn't what i was looking for.
Nice lay out and presentation though. 3 stars is generous but 2 stars would've been harsh.

This book is light on information about tea. What descriptions of of tea are present are very brief and don't contain much detail. The bulk of the book is taken up with recipes for tea (ie ways of turning tea into something that isn't tea; and recipes for foods to accompany tea. Unnecessary and misleading - if I want to find out how to make crumpet, or bake a spice cake, I will consult a proper cookery book.
I can't see who would buy this - too little about tea for me; too superficial to be regarded as a handbook on "taking tea" as a cultural Phenomenon; and no match for proper cookery books if you want recipes......
I got this on kindle, so not too annoyed about wasting the money, but I certainly wouldn't have bought this if I'd been able to see its contents by browsing in a shop. Perhaps it just needs a more accurate name - " The
Little Book of Teatime" reflects its contents better IMHO....

This was bought as a gift for a fellow tea lover to accompany some tea palace tea, and it went down like a house on fire. A very sweet little book.
