The title is a flat out lie, there are no recipes (in the sense of other books like Python Cookbook) in this one whatsoever. It is mainly is an annotated version of the official Python documentation and surrounding parts. Page after page listing functions of official modules, shortly explaining usage, parameters and sometimes a short example. Images are screenshots of a python interpreter running code, dark background, colorful fonts, hard to read. The broad focus and the occasional gotcha secures the third star, but I would not recommend this book to anyone with at least some knowledge of Python. For a beginner, because of the broad focus, this book may be helpful but there are far better books out there (e.g. Python Tricks)
