I just checked the link and I get the same price as you now. How odd that it was on sale for such a short period of time.

 

Edited to add:

Checking my Amazon links in my post from yesterday, It seems as if about half of the cookbooks I posted yesterday are no longer on sale. 

My apologies if anyone is disappointed.

Thank goodness Amazon told me I’d already bought the Pépin.  Now gotta search Kindle for it.

It's totally bizarre. All the Everything books were 99 cents to 1.99 a couple of days ago. I was going to post because i was excited to get the Everything Nordic book for a song, but then they were back up to $15 or whatever right away. 

 

This is the one I got for 99 cents on Monday, 

Everything Nordic Cookbook

 

But I don't know it they will feature them again.

I bought it.  My hope is that while Jacques and I are both among the living he will explain why Howard Johnson's served melted ice cream in hot metal bowls.  My childhood was scarred and his soul may have to answer.

He could serve me bowls of mud filled with earwigs and I’d still buckle at the knees.

Hey, no one says you have to buy them. ;) :laugh:

I was just sorry not to see those cheaper ($.99) cookbooks from a couple of posts ago.

Still, with these sale prices, it beats paying full price for the books.

 Thanks. Reviewed or not the author certainly seems to have cred. And, bonus, it’s on sale for $1.99 on the Canadian Amazon site for a change.

Here's a review of Jam Session from Marissa on Food In Jars.  Generally quite positive with a couple of fairly minor concerns.
