There's been a lot of hype about this tome. I'd love to look at it, but $500+? I don't think it's in the cards.... Amy |

Amy Ya know, I just don't get why someone would price their book beyond the reach of nearly everyone. Surely an analysis of potential sales vs. price would suggest a lower price point (even the Canadian price is out of hand). Seriously, is this thing printed with gold leaf or what? |

Yeah, the Dali Tarot costs less and it actually does have gold leaf. |

I am baffled...I could get a circulator and a food saver and investigate modernism myself for about the same cost. |

Yeah, JesBelle, but does it have 2400 pages? Somewhere I read that the author advises the book should not be taken into the kitchen. They include a spiral bound with extra special paper for that purpose. |

Yes, it isn't quite "a" book, more like 6: http://seattlefoodgeek.com/2010/12/firs ... sine-book/ (that pic does not include the 6th book, the kitchen manual). It promises to be unique, at least. |

C, Some of those techniques are pretty well known, but others give pause for thought. I'd sure love to look through this thing to see if I'm willing to invest. Hmmmm...maybe I can talk my EC into buying it for the restaurant.  Amy |
