I purchased Ray's book as I have been paleo for 2 years now, and heard about Ray Audette from Abel James podcast. I wanted to read one of the original paleo books. I found it full great, well researched information and excellent recipes. A great addition to any paleo bookshelf, Neanderthin is a very readable, well laid out plan for going paleo.
