In terms of the overall message that this book provides and the supplemental information that Schwarzbein readers will need in order to implement her program, I give this book five stars.  Anyone who reads her first book will want to have this book, as it goes into more detail about how to implement her plan, as well as sample meal ideas and lists of snack combos for those who are getting tired of nuts and cheese every day.  You could get by with just this book if you wanted to start the Schwarzbein Principle Program (SPP).  However, if you would like more in-depth information on her research, case studies, and scientific explanations on the foundations of her principles, read her first book too.

However, I could not give this book five stars.  I swear to God this book must have been edited by a high school freshman.  I picked up a used copy (dated 2004) and I hope they've re-released it since then and cleaned it up.  The final third of the book had a lot of typos and grammatical errors like misused apostrophes (it means POSSESSION NOT PLURAL!), font size inconsistencies in breakout lists, even numbered lists were styled inconsistently.  My husband got tired of hearing me mutter "Geeze what the hell.." each time I found another error.  I was seriously tempted to highlight all of the errors and mail the book back to the publishing company.  It was completely unprofessional.

The overall organization of the book was also not done very well; several sections of the book could have been combined and organized better.  The presentation layout that they chose required an inordinate amount of duplication; there are parts where whole paragraphs and pages have just been copied and pasted between the sections.  Some sections get over-explained, while other sections are under-explained.  Throughout the first part of the book, 15 grams of carbs are emphasized; when you get to the sample meal plans you suddenly have pages of 20 gram portioned meals and snacks, as well as 25 and 15 grams, low glycemic index, low saturated fat... and it is not very well explained who should be following what.  I guess I will have to re-read that whole section.  Your eyes do tend to glaze over a bit when you're reading the same information (sometimes word-for-word) for the third+ time.

My complaints about the book won't deter me from following the program, but I was already convinced by her first book before I picked this one up.  For some of you, reading her first book may help you if you find the presentation in this book to be too much of a put-off.  When you read her first book, just skip the section on implementing the plan and read this book instead, as the information and strategies in this book are more updated and some of what she says has changed (e.g. quantities of saturated fat that are acceptable).

I booked a book like 1 month ago. I just received like last week. I am not happy about the delivery part.

Content good - Quality of paperback not so good. Olivia and Amy Fine Collins do deliver. The seller did not.
It is a tiny paperback. Cute. But was scheduled as a media mail (21-28 day expected delivery) and arrived beat up and browned pages. That part was disappointing.

product is ok, but delivery was 2 days late while it shows "guaranteed delivery by such and such date". Moreover, it informed about the delay after the promised delivery time passed. There was no benefit of prime account in this case.

I read this book in 2 hours. The content that was there was okay,  thought I would get more than two hours of content with my purchase.

Movie itself is wonderful but your delivery platform leaves much to be desired. More than occasionally I have to deactivate my account and re activate it to get movies that I own to play

We are very pleased with our purchase but FedEx delivered our package to a home approximately a block away.  This is the second time it has happened.  Our name and address were correct on the all the labeling but they still delivered it to the wrong people. Other than that it was great.

I don't have an issue with non delivery.
This is my 2nd gift card

I gave a subscription as a gift to a friend back in April.  I was told that the first delivery would be sometime between July 11 and August 8 which I thought was unreasonable, but I let it go.  It is now August 12 and I am being told that delivery would be 'by September 8' -- for the July/August issue!  From now on I will be going directly to the publisher.

Not pleased with that headline.

Still, delivery was two days early and rolls are correct LxW.

I will be updating my review when I actually use it with the Rival I'm expecting soon.

Dunno if it'll happen every time, but it seems there was a marginal savings over the direct-from-Woolrich price. Like so many things, this particular shirt was from off shore, but the work seems good, ditto the material's quality, and the first trip through the washing machine was not traumatic.
Why no 5th star? The issue was one of delivery -- UPS with a hand-over to USPS for local delivery. Unfortunately, the Presidents Day holiday meant that USPS wasn't receiving,  and I got a "Delivery Attempted" notification from UPS, but the package did arrive later. It seems -- especially since holidays are not surprise events -- that UPS-USPS coordination could/should be improved.

Upon delivery to you, count what you've got!  There is anomaly here. Mine is only 91, instead of 100!
To you manufacturer/distributor,  you should count precisely what you're selling, do not short change consumer/end user like us!

It's started delivery soon after I purchased this magazine. So far, I received 4 issues, and no problem.

Close enough to what I wanted.  I actually wanted a hardcover, but paperback is good, too.  The content of this book was outstanding.  I would not recommend buying from indoobestsellers.  Their delivery timing was horrendous.

Alto Music shipped quickly and I received my card with authorization code within a few days, but it was under packed and the Avid box was basically crushed. This was of no consequence, since the it only contained paper. Had this been an old fashioned DVD installer, it would likely not have survived. + Points for fast shipment - points for weak packing = neutral. Satisfied to have got what I wanted at a good price. Not thrilled.

As an aside, maybe I'm just a literalist, but based on the "Electronic Delivery" description I was hoping that my iLok account email was going to be requested, and the license deposited directly into that account, without waiting for the card to arrive via snail mail. I've purchased software upgrades via certain eBay sellers before, and that was the arrangement. In this brave new world of downloading all software immediately after purchase, a bit more clarity in the description for optimistic fools like me would be greatly appreciated.

I had to order twice. This first time the phote showed 5 in the package, and I needed 2. Guess what? They are sold individually. This meant I paid shipping twice.
