June 06, 2009: I was a little disappointed with this cookbook. I have really enjoyed getting into baking Bundt cakes, they are so reminiscent of my childhood in the 60's and 70's. I remember the neighborhood ladies getting together for coffee and gossip once a week and someone usually brought over a glazed bundt cake which would keep us kids occupied so the moms could "talk". This book had the look for someone's secret stash of delicious recipes and I guess that is what I was hoping for, instead I got what looks like typewritten (yes old school on an old IBM or Underwood typewritter) pages bound together. That too would have been fine if the recipes were original, but they are just old recipes that I already had in one of the original Nordic Ware Bundt Cake Classics that I found at a garage sale or used book store. All in all you aren't getting your monies worth, there are only about 20 some odd recipes, if that, in this book and none are original. I will keep it on my bookshelf with my other cookbooks, but it is not one that I will pulling down and referring to when I want to bake a good ole bundt cake.
