Where to purchase Spoon by A. Ducasse

[C_Ruark]

Comrade eGer's,

I am trying to pick up a copy of Alain D's Spoon cookbook for my collection.

Problem is: it's not showing up in Amazon/Borders or B&N warehouse search engine (on line and in stores) any more.

I do have the ISBNs for the tradeback and hardbound editions - either would be grand. While his website has them both for sale, I would like avoid having to negotiate in Euros (darn exchange rate).

Do y'all know of a stateside retailer who's 'currently' carrying either/both of the books?

Thanks!

My vote goes to Amazon.fr

I got my copy in 4 days via chronopost. was cheaper then buying it from Canada or even from ADNY.

It was 180 USD or so, all in.

I believe there a soft cover version now too.

A lot of us got it via France.

Best of luck.

You should definately go to http://www.jessicasbiscuit.com. I searched for it, and they have it in stock - I just didn't copy the url. The site is awesome. I get pretty much all of my cookbooks from them.

This is the ltd. edition, 11 lb. one, 5,000 in print.

The Spoon CookBook you want, I think?

143 euros, one of a kind.

The one at J.B. is a very abbrievated one that came out before the monolith.

When you get it, the expense will drain away ...

It's a truly remarkable book!

The size of it alone will make you laugh!

Quite a few esoteric ingredients, especially savory, to source out though.

I don't know if you came about this...eGullet discussion on the Spoon book

It's pretty funny, informative, as far as purchasing.

We were going to do one of those 'cooking from...' threads but everybody was too busy.

Enjoy it!
