Query: Julia Child's Timeless Book

I bought this book after perusing it at the library. I soon realized that it is priceless in that it explains the why and how as well as the what of cookery. Child's technique of presenting a master recipe then explaining on how simple additions or techniques make it something different allows a relatively inexperienced cook to see how the chemistry of cooking works. This book is nonthreatening and the illustrations are precise and not artsy. Using this book I have prepared dished I never had previously with success. It is volume well worth having and using.
