This book is easy to read and contains some history of the stew and the ingredients.The author won a place in my heart when she said "you won't be using any thickening ingredients in your stew (forbidden)."  It can be more challenging to work without flour or cornstarch to thicken, but I have found it does make a difference when I make the effort.There is a table of contents (hyperlinked) and some care and thought went into the organization and presentation of this book.  The text is clear, the instructions are solid, and I can certainly appreciate the value of a book focused on a single dish that has some real thought and effort behind it.  There is a recipe and instructions for making stock, and an additional recipe for Irish Mash, as well.There are a few typos here and there, but nothing that interferes with comprehension.I enjoyed reading this one and I'll be keeping it - I don't buy lamb very often, but if I ever see it on sale, this is the recipe I'll turn to!
