tats63, I have "used Fishpond" to purchase various books and I totally recommend them.Their service is very prompt and reliable and the books arrive so well-packed that they're in excellent condtion - so good in fact that it is hard to believe that they haven't just come out of the box from the printer.:-))

I made the raspberry cheesecake brownie.It was fabulous.Would highly recommend it.Best the day it was made - warmish - not so exciting the following day.Just the right blend of flavours.Yum yum.

Book Depository is a UK site and gives free postage.I use them all the time and books usually arrive in about five days, sometimes sooner.

Agree. Well worth buying from.I do still buy locally from time to time when books areunavailable through the Book Depository, but the service, price, and free postage from the B.D. is brilliant.

I also ordered this book and my order states it was dispatched 10th May. So far has not arrived. I wonder if there is a delay in the UK postal service

I had this book but ended up selling it as the recipes I tried were a dismal failure. I'm a pretty good baker so was really disappointed BUT it looks like I might have been too hasty.

Surprised to hear that meegs as I've never had any problem with the recipes and I'm more of a cook than a baker.
