Book Review: "....J U S T......R I G H T ? "
Summary: 4 Stars
THE COMPLETE BOOK OF CALORIE COUNTS, by Corinne T. Netzer, is a wonderful reference guide. Most of the foods in it are supermarket foods -- but from the listings, one can get a good, if generalized idea about both home-made foods and restaurant foods, (a creamed spinach is less caloric than a pizza....no matter who makes it or where it is bought!) This book gives many variables of each food - calories, sodium levels, protein levels, carbohydrate levels, etc., (and etc!) About 7 variables for EACH food listed is given, so one can focus not only on the variables most important to each reader....but on other variables, as well. Quite a book -- and THE most COMPLETE listing I have ever seen! (Kudos!)
I once bought the hard-cover of this book -- and was FLOORED by its tremendous SIZE! If you can imagine a "trade paperback" of the Manhattan telepone directory, that will give you SOME idea of the absolute HUGENESS of the hard-cover edition of this book. The hard-cover was larger than the standard-size trade-paperback, but still very thick and very big. I finally had to sadly throw it out -- it was also too HEAVY for me to put in my lap...and in my cramped apartment, I didn't even have room for an extra table!
This new, mass-market paperback edition will, I feel, be TOO SMALL for my needs.
The printing will necessarily be tiny, (though, in the preview, I notice they do TRY to make it legible....but those who need dieting most, the -- ahem -- "over 50" crowd -- may still find the print slightly(?) too small, despite all efforts.)
Therefore, may I request that a "trade paperback" of this book be made? Smaller than a hardback -- yet larger than the present, mass-market paperback, the size of this truly ultimate, truly ENCYCLOPAEDIC calorie guide, will then, (in the words of "Little Red Riding Hood"), be not too big, not too small -- but "just right"!
