Will be a POP-ular book for Popcorn lovers

An absolute must. This little book is packed full of recipes and fun little tidbits and history facts throughout. The book is seperated into savory concoctions (14 recipes), sweet confections (30 recipes), and skinny combinations (15 recipes).

A clever and well done little book with some new ideas for popcorn presentation.

Perhaps some people don't mind including this in their diets but please count me out! I highly recomment this book for the popcorn afficionado.
