Skipping over the fact that the photos are very variable in quality, you still have to address the fact that this book is more of a guide to serving size than a guide to low-cal food. In reality, many of these recipes are not low cal. If you eat only a tablespoon or two of them, they would be low cal. But people who need diets (like myself) will rarely make a recipe and say "oh look, honey, this dip serves 38, let's invite the book club over!"  No, we'll be sitting there with spoons and flat bread, completely defeating the purpose of a 100 calorie recipe. This book has some EXCELLENT ideas. In fact, the ideas are TOO excellent. Dieters will eat more than 100 calories and enjoy every morsel. Perhaps if the author scaled them back a bit (what dieter needs a dip that starts with 3 avocados?) and sized them so that a cookie recipe made 10 cookies and not 60, I'd feel more comfortable with this.
