Helpful Score: 3

I loved this book. Anyone over the age of, oh, 40 will probably enjoy his research and explanations of the various candies, especially the stuff you just don't seem to see anymore. Steve Almond (Yes, Almond!) explains the business of regionally-offered goodies, the confectionaries that I now miss because my family moved from one area of the country to another.

My parents were in the candy-making business (a small, mall franchise) for many years so the book appealed to me on all kinds of levels, from candymaker to consumer.
