    Disappointing. The content is OK but the Nook presentation is lacking.

    The content & recipes are OK but the presentation on Nook is very disappointing. I have tried changing the text but the titles & recipes split onto different screens. They should remain together. Also, there is no alphabetical listing of the recipes. Unless you know the name of a specific drink & search within the book, you just have to scroll page-by-page.
    I would like it much better if the title & recipe stayed together and the alphabetical listing of recipes (missing) allowed you to jump directly to that recipe.

    You REALLy have to be a dummy to buy this one....

    They were not kidding when they said "Cocktails for Dummies".
    It's nonsense, little help and luckily really really cheap. If I got one thing out of the book, it was.....the difference between John and Tom Collins (not that I cared). My advise, if you want to make a particular drink or how to cut a piece of fruit...just google it.
