Book Reviews of A Geography of Oysters: The Connoisseur's Guide to Oyster Eating in North America

Book Review: Awesome fun book Must read!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Growing up on an island in Washington State and visiting relatives on Hoods Canal who had oysters outside their front door, I grew up loving oysters raw, in stew, bread and pan fried, and in casseroles.

So when I discovered this gem of a book I was overjoyed. Anyone who loves oysters or simply food history should love this book as well. Cannot recommend it enough.
