“This is a lovely little book. There is just enough information on an unusual subject to catch the imagination and interest of the reader on the special place of French olive oil production in the industry. It is easy to read with plenty of relevant facts and (not too many) statistics to illustrate the points. The health and beauty tips and the recipes at the end of the book are particularly good and well worth trying.†~ Reader Review
