I was a little concerned about the ratings at Amazon. Even though the average is great, there are a very slightly higher number of "1's" than I would have expected. All fears were allayed, however, when I checked the ratings details at GoodReads (4.06 (33))--there were zero "1's" there.

Another, more salient concern, from reading the book description, is the fact that there are only 16 pages of full-color photographs. But, really now, doesn't a slow cooker cooking goulash look a whole lot like a slow cooker cooking fish stew?

I use the physical copy quite a bit. It was the first Fix it cookbook I bought.
