Supposedly the Italian bible of cooking, and it contains a huge number of recipes, but it's not for begging cooks. The layout is compact, pictures minimal (which doesn't bother me).
The instructions are written in one long paragraph, which is a pain to follow when you're half way through and need to check something.
Worse yet, instructions can be incomplete, unclear, and quantities imprecise. Even for someone who doesn't always follow instructions and quantities to the letter, this can be frustrating.
