I have purchased in 2004 and 2005 and did not get it after that.

Most of the products in the book are products not found in my part of country (NJ)

and stores like WalMart in my area do not have a full grocery dept. so many of those products

are not in my area.

Most of the stores the book states as sources for gluten-free food aren't in my area either. It just wasn't worthwhile for us; maybe it is for someone in another part of the country.

I'd get Clan Thompson or Gluten Guard but I am afraid that this will be the same case.

I think that is an awesome product for people who are starting out newly on the diet. It gives them a great idea as to what they can look for in the stores. When I was first diagnosed I got the CSA book and I think it gave me "hope". It showed me there were still foods to eat. I would highly recommend it to a newbie for a guide. If you have been on the diet a while, it probably wouldn't be as useful.

I also bought the 2005 edition when I was first diagnosed. At the time, I knew next to nothing about the gluten-free diet, and had not found this board yet.

It was helpful to me at first, but like Deb, I live in NJ and a lot of the stores and products listed in it were not available to me.

I almost never refer to it anymore--I either ask on here, or call manufacturers myself.

I use it and am a member of the organization. I've found it really helpful, along with their quarterly newsletter (good recipes in it).
