Commentary/review

I rarely read ebooks in full but this one is brilliant, deserving a note and a new category.

I found the book fascinating, quite moving, highly inspiring, educational, well-researched, balanced, funny and impossible to put away.

The book is responsible for a new training program for my dog and a new travelling plan for both of us. Coincidentally, there is an open-source book about truffles occuring in Poland, published online by Lasy Państwowe.

The cover is not perfect. It looks like a children’s book which it is not.
