The calorie, carb and fat bible 2008. Juliette Kellow, Lyndel Costain and Rebecca Walton. Weight Loss Resources Ltd. Peterborough, UK

The most comprehensive of its type in the UK. Excellent, but some people might want something a bit smaller and lighter - you definitely can't carry it around in your pocket!
