### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good book
*by Z***L on 5 March 2018*

This book is like a very long article on salt. The history is overwhelming. I've been looking for a reference book like that and I don't know how I missed it. Arrived on time. I enjoy reading it. It's a book for general readers, don't have to be an academic to understand.
