More Books
Today we made a trip to Cranbury Bookworm, one of, if not the best used bookstore after the Strand in Manhattan. The Bookworm has reworked their bookshelves since our last visit seperating fiction paperbacks from hardcovers, and removing their classics from the main stacks. Over all this made the whole process of searching for books easier and we commend them for the change.
Our big finds were Larousse Gastronomique, albeit a 1961 copy. The $60 book was only $4. What makes this exciting is that while our interest in fine cooking necessitated owning such an extensive food encyclopedia, we couldn't justify buying it new, and for $4, how could we really go wrong. Also we found a book on the art of Chinese cooking which we think will be similar to Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Expect more good food from us soon.
Of course, we then went to an all you can eat chinese buffet in West Windsor and gorged ourselves. Go figure.
