It's been awhile. Today the 15th July, I received Ammi's Kitchen: Heirloom Recipes from Rampur by Pernia Qureshi. The book came out in India in June 2025. I managed to pool together tips money from cooking for a few families I serve. It took 11 days transit. Book arrived immaculately perfect, complete absence of any cosmetic defects! Corners are sharp, you can poke an eye out!
If it arrived with cosmetic damages, e.g noticeable rubbing or dents/dings, etc, I know Cold Books will exchange with a copy that meets my stringent specs. It is currently my 45th book in my collection of regional South Asian (Desi) cuisine. Most of my books are are purchased from Cold Books in NYC. They are aware of me as one of their loyal customers of repeated business going back to March 2023. 🙂
It is not yet released in the US. I think it will be available April 2026 for North America, UK, etc.
If you're the US, indie seller "Cold Books" from NYC on Biblio book marketplace has a few copies already on US-soil.
Please excuse the reflections; book is covered in Brodart mylar.
