Although I'm generally a fan of Tenspeed Press books, I was somewhat disappointed in this one. It may cover a great many types of chile peppers, but I'm come across more in grocery stores that are NOT in this book than I'm used to finding with Tenspeed titles. It's good for what it's got, but somewhat lacking overall.
