This is supposed to be good.

Random as to whether they have something interesting but there's always The Strand.

 

[Peter Creasey]

Bill, I've had good luck on eBay, including for VERY old antique cookbooks.

[Bill Lundstrom]

Me too, Pete. But, I'm in NYC now and want to treasure hunt.

Bill, Slotnick ( Sharon's link) is where you want to go.

Looks great. Never heard of it before.

I may hit this one and slotnick's tomorrow. (after lunch at keste)

 

[kirk wallace]

I don't approve of that lunch choice. If you want pizza, go to franny's. And much better wine list.

I've bought some great out-of-print cookbooks at Bonnie Slotnick and Joanne Hendricks. I love the pizza at Franny's although the East Village Motorino might be more convenient.

 

[Bill Lundstrom]

Have never been to Franny's. Will have to rectify that on the next visit.

Hit Joanne Hendricks today. Great suggestion. Was able to round out my Patience Grey collection with some pretty hard to find early works.

Thanks for the tip. Highly reccomended and Joanne is a pleasure to chat with.

just dissing, through omission, roberta's???!!!

 

[kirk wallace]

i have been to roberta's only once. i found the pizza to be just OK; very much not vaux le voyage. decent wine list but nothing compared to Franny's. and I agree with Ben that Motorino's pizza is superb. last i went though, the wine list was almost as bad as Keste.

Which early works from Patience Gray did you round your collection out with?

I was really pleased to find a copy of French Cheeses by Kazuko Masui and Tomoko Yamada at Bonnie Slotnick over the weekend.

 

[Bill Lundstrom]

"Plats du Jour", patience grey and primrose boyd. illustrated paperback

"Ringdoves and Snakes"

and, "Work Adventures Childhood Dreams

 

[Ben Hunting]

The last two sound intriguing! I have the Persephone edition of the first.

 

[Bill Lundstrom]

do you have "honey from a weed" ? if not, you should seek it out.

 

[Ben Hunting]

I do. A wonderful book.
