What did I like about the book? I liked that is compact, cute and has great recipes. There are 50 coffee and espresso drinks that you can save money on because you can make it at home! There are recipes that can be consumed day or night! It does not matter if you want to use beans or already ground up grounds. Beans are the best way to go but if you don't have time to ground up your coffee, just make sure that your grounds are fresh!

You can make coffee-based drinks, classic espresso drinks, flavored lattes, frozen drinks, and milkshakes and if you are daring, coffee cocktails! All in a little book with 50 recipes! I am a coffee drinker and love a different drink in the evening. I have a latte machine and can froth milk so I love the recipes in this book and can't wait to try them.

If like me you love a variety, then get this little book that can be kept next to the coffee pot!… (meer)

This was a very well-researched attempt to document the life of John Beargrease, "a common man with an uncommonly difficult occupation"--carrying the mail on Minnesota's north shore. The man is a fascinating character, no doubt, whose status as a legend is well-deserved. I thought that the construction of the narrative was a bit awkward at times, the chronology of Lancaster's retelling jumping back and forth without clear signposts and the several headers often interfering with the story. It almost seemed as if there were too many topics to explore in Beargrease's story without enough meat to fill them out. The use of headers and nonlinear chronology was exceptional, however, in chapter seven ("Off the Trail"), which detailed Beargrease's trapping, hunting, fishing, and day laboring while not on the mail route.… (meer)
