Stars Needs more pictures
I just received my copy of The Art of Chocolate. There seems to be a lot of information, great receipes and "projects" in the book. The problem I have is that there aren't enough pictures showing how the items are made and constructed. In some cases there aren't even picutres of the finished product so you can't tell if your constructing it correctly. To add insult to injury, I bought the book from Stone-Creative which arrived missing pages 19 through 22 which had the tempering information needed for most of the receipes in the book. You may want to keep this in mind if you're considering ordering anything from them.

Stars Chocolate Lovers Delight
I tried The Chocolate Lovers' Cookbook, a compilation by Juliet Cobb and ever since then, a great Chocoholic. As some ingredients were not available in town, I grabbed this book 'Art of Chocolates: Techniques & Recipes from a friend. The books says in detail:
Start to Finish -
Ingredients and Tools
Melting and Tempering Chocolate
Spectacular Chocolate Confections
Chocolate Magic Tricks
Spectacular Chocolate Gifts
Spectacular Chocolate Cakes and Desserts
Basic Cakes, Fillings, Frostings, and Sauces

Easier to go through step by step with simple Instructions. The magic tricks are great I like most because once you make a chocolate, the appear has to be cool. So here's a mould,chocolate plates, bowls, boxes, cups, leaves, bows, flowers, tree bark various cutouts.Chocolate baskets, decorated boxes and various tricks is sure catchy. Of coz, some ingredients fall short in India, there's always some substitutes to use and I find it much easier to try my hand on one or two recipe but yeah, reading is cool n the taste touches the sweet tooth jes seeing the pics. A good pick.

I am very happy with this book. I want to work more with presentation, and make my product more eye-appealing. The instructions in this book are pretty clear. However I, like another reviewer, would have liked to have seen more pictures of the completed project. I am still very happy with this book.
