Learning can be sooo much fun. This guide easily earns a spot on our lifestyle and travel bookshelves because it covers chocolate based info that Lonely Planet, Zagat, Rick Steves, and other guides miss. The guide's mission is to promote something called a "chocolate lifestyle" which seems to be the consumption of chocolate, and chocolate making accessories.
