Aimed at UK, but definitely worth studying for your health's sake
Condition of book was exactly as described, ie, as new. Delivery was very fast considering the distance from northern hemisphere to southern. I have yet to finish reading the book, but, so far, it is very easy to read and makes sense. However, it is disappointing that certain recommended products are not shipped outside the UK, eg, Sunshine Salt.

So accessible
This book makes the case for health and longevity through diet with a ton of science to back up this diet. Then it makes what sounds like a very difficult change feel super accessible.

Not for beginners or for people who are rigidly set in any certain path
This hits the nail on the head over and over again. If you are looking for a cookbook I get it that this book is not what you are looking for. If you understand the guts, so to speak, of what the authors are talking about, then this book is amazingly insightful and a great reference. If you've done a lot of research into the subject of human diet and evolution then this book is quite substantial in a hyper compact format. If you haven't and want to save yourself a ton of time and researching, just read and follow. Although I do not agree 100% with the authors I am pretty close. Regardless, this book is worth far more than the cover price. This is a hidden gem of a book when it comes down to explaining all of the stuff you don't know how to figure out about what you hate/want to change/can't seem to find the answer for... about yourself.For what it is going to cost you: buy it.

Brilliant author but this is not really a cookbook
First I want to clarify that the author of this book, Dr. Sarah Myhill, is a brilliant health expert and a certified medical doctor in the UK, and I own (and love) and have benefitted from almost all of her other many books. Her healing philosophies and protocols are second to none. But as a "cookbook?" This book will disappoint anyone looking for recipes, pictures, and ingredients you can find in your local store. I wish the author had taken the time to create a "US" (or just "non-UK") version before unleashing this food book on this side of the pond. Many of the ingredients she tells you to use are items that Americans have never heard of, or cannot buy in the US because they are specific UK brands. Yes, you can google the foreign words and learn what they are, but who wants to have to use google to translate a recipe that calls for "treacle" or "black pudding" or "scratchings," or which has to be cooked at "220 Centigrade?" In almost every instance, also -- with just a few exceptions throughout the book -- she uses UK measurements that you will also need to "translate" into US measurements, which is a royal pain when cooking! It would have been welcome if she had run the book by an American friend to adjust the wording for a "US edition," especially since her very smart co-author is also from a part of the world that uses terms and measurements from the Commonwealth, which are not used in the US. I still love Dr. Myhill's overall food "philosophy" and health advice, and I hope she does, indeed, live to be 120 by sticking to her best ways of eating. But for anyone, like me, who buys this book hoping to take that philosophy to the next level with a robust collection of actual recipes, you will be sorely disappointed. For any cookbook writers out there, the fact that this one falls so far short leaves the field wide open for some enterprising American to come along and create a real cookbook based on the Myhill eating philosophy -- which combines the best of the Paleo eating approach with the best of "Keto." Please make one with color photographs of the dishes being described. I would be first in line to buy such a book!

Best for those in the UK
I loved Dr. Mayhill's book on ME-CFS, this book however has limited value for those living in other parts of the world. As other reviewers have noted, this isn't a "recipe book” as such. It does have a lot of suggestions for easy Paleo-keto meals, but most of those are based on products available in the UK (and, I think, on some of the types of food more typically found there - which makes sense). The value in this book for me was in the more general ideas of how to substitute for dairy products when doing a PK diet and some other general concepts such as her thoughts on sweeteners. I think the book could have gone farther in illumating her thoughts on seasonality in the diet. Bottom line: the book was worth the five dollars I paid for the kindle version, but would not have been worth more to me.
