"Aside from being packed with great recipes that really work, More from Ace Bakery is an entirely lovely book ... the book is beautifully laid out and flawlessly produced...." – Adrian Marks, January Magazine

"[A] lovely, warmly designed book...." – Jennifer Cockrall-King, FoodGirl.ca

"I knew the moment I opened the package, I was going to like this cookbook.... because of the beautiful photo on the front…. Yes, I am one of those who bucks the axiom Don’t Judge a Book by its Cover. I freely judge with no qualms. Design, type, photos, are all quite important to my enjoyment of a cookbook and a blah cover, well it just won’t tempt me. This cookbook had my name written all over it." – Lara Ferroni, Cook & Eat

"The playful title and cover illustration allude to the particular slant of this exploration of Canadian history: archaeological excavations and what they reveal about the past." – Val Ken Lem, CM Magazine

"All of the sites [are] also depicted on an excellent map at the start of the book, and each is accompanied by descriptive photos and “Dig This!” fact boxes that add nicely to the main narrative.... It will hold the interest of any young non-fiction fan with its winning combination of lively prose and clear, complementary graphics." – Paul Challen, Quill & Quire
