Reception
A Fiery Foods review says, "This book is so interesting that I read most of it the day that it arrived. The recipes from Nevada and New Mexico have chiles in them! The book is based on the PBS special “Sandwiches That You Will Like.” Highly recommended". A Global Gourmet review says, "Published in conjunction with the WQED Pittsburgh documentary program "Sandwiches That You Will Like," (produced, written, and narrated by Rick Sebak and aired nationally on PBS affiliates), this collectible book doesn't tout haute cuisine. Instead, it celebrates truly great American sandwiches. From diners to delis to dives, American Sandwich offers 50 fabulous recipes as it takes you on a historic culinary tour of the culture of America's favorite food". It was reviewed by Library Journal. A Library Bookwatch review says, " a state-by-state organization for quick regional reference with introductions to each outlining the best delis and sandwich houses and recipes of many delights and you have a fun, appealing celebration of the sandwich which even Dagwood would enjoy".

Famous quotes containing the word reception:
“To aim to convert a man by miracles is a profanation of the soul. A true conversion, a true Christ, is now, as always, to be made by the reception of beautiful sentiments.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
“To the United States the Third World often takes the form of a black woman who has been made pregnant in a moment of passion and who shows up one day in the reception room on the forty-ninth floor threatening to make a scene. The lawyers pay the woman off; sometimes uniformed guards accompany her to the elevators.”
—Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
