Books For Cooks

[Cuilidh]

I have just received a newsletter from one of the most dangerous shops in our neighbourhood - Books for Cooks.  They are a superb specialist book shop which I am usually too scared to enter, in case I never get out again!

They have just launched their ebook store - probably nothing TMX related at this stage, but perhaps that will come.  You can find them here - and don't blame me if you never surface from your visit.

I think that is really strange.

I have one of Pierre Hermé's  books that has both French and English text.  French on the left-hand page, English on the right. 
I thought this was very clever back then (I think it was published at least ten years ago), and wondered why more cookbooks that span different cultures and languages were not done this way.

i thought so too andie... just comes up with a notice saying this:

We're sorry: this book isn't for sale in your country

 Copyright restrictions imposed by authors and creators can mean that a title may only be sold to customers within certain countries or territories. Unfortunately these restrictions apply to this title. It's not for sale in your country.

I have never seen that before..postage restrictions perhaps or most often contact us for postage costs because they are hefty but saying it isnt for sale in your country is a new one...gave me a laugh...someone has issues somewhere lol

Frozzie I received the same message so I am not sure where the book can be bought!!!!

Frozzie, Johnro there must be a problem with downloading the Zumbo e-book.  Why wouldn't it be available for downloading in OZ...? Odd.

Cuilidh, thanks for the link.  Christmas isn't far away
