I forgot who recommended this here (perhaps more than one of you) but I want
to thank you. I finally got around to ordering it from Amazon, and reading
it. It's far and away the best buck on sushi I've ever seen. Unlike all the
others, it's all text, with no pictures, and it's extremely informative. I
also like the dry wit of the author.

I just got this book too, fantastic read and some of the stuff was so
funny I was almost in tears (tons of innuendos, like the trivia for
anago and uni).

Pretty sure it was me. You're all welcome. I just need to buy a copy
of my own, now.

Hello All,
I just began reading a new book on sushi I've found very interesting.
A Connoisseur's Guide to Sushi, by Dave Lowry, published this year by
Harvard Common Press. The author is very, very funny; dry sense of
humor--but it's by far the most detailed book I've ever seen on sushi.
I was alerted to the book when I was in a sushi place I go regularly
and saw a copy of it near the counter. The chef told me was reading it
and he said there was stuff in there about sushi he never knew.
It goes into every conceivable detail about the subject, even
explaining why certain shapes of dishes are used, how sushi gets
arranged on the plate as it does, a lot of the whys and hows I'd never
even considered.
Has anyone else read this book and what do you think?

Thanks.
- Buddy

As I said, "perhaps more than one of you."
