To be fair, I'm a public librarian, and I don't think this is one for the average library patron. I skimmed through this book and, while our library circulates an ice cream maker, everything about this book is about high quality and the best of the best (maybe my first hint should've been the "Finest" in the title?), which honestly, translates to a bit pretentious. I'm not sure this book would be great for a big population, but I'm sure that minor one will find it okay. My rating is based on how helpful it would be to the average patron, and whether they'd actually find it useful after checking out and reading through a few recipes.
