Love the contents, paperback hard to handle

I have used this book in an earlier edition, and I want it again, so I am checking the Amazon site. I only found it in paperback, like the one I borrowed from the library to see if I liked the 16th edition as well as my earlier book (loaned it out, can't find it). I do like it, since it includes restaurants, brand name foods and calorie counts, but it was a pretty new borrow, and tight, so thumbing through or locating pages was difficult. I am going to look for a hard cover, or a larger soft-cover copy. The contents are great for my needs, though!

Good information if you only eat packaged food

I was really disappointed with this book. I bought it on recommendation of my doctor. I really don't eat a ton of packaged food and things that I would expect to see listed here are not. It seems fairly complete if you eat out at fast food restaurants and use a lot of pre-packaged foods, which I do not. It also doesn't include any food that might be on a more sophisticated palette. I'm no food snob, but I do go out to dinner at nicer restaurants and I would have hoped some of those types of dishes would be listed on this book. Overall, I didn't find it very useful for my purposes.

I have the original printing of this book which finally has worn out , so I replaced it. I have yet to find a more helpful book for any dieter. It is invaluable.

This is an excellent book from anyone on a diet. It gives a break down of the calories and carbs on a variety of foods, even restaurant meals. It is very informative and helpful.

This book is an excellent tool to give you a general idea of the calories of food. I have found it to be quite comprehensive and am losing 2lbs per week now using this book.
