i.e. Modernist Custine:the Art & Science of Cooking, a very important book that was just published, radical in its presentation of the "Science" of cooking, beautifully illustrated with photographs showing what food does during cooking and processing. The set comes in a Lucite Cube slip case.
Authored by a team of chefs and backed by one of Bill Gates' (Microsoft) co founders.
I listened to a review of the book on NPR last November, was one of the must have for Foodies last Holiday season.
I looked up the Amazon page back then, and I think you had to order for next printing, about $450 to 500. Limited print run caused delays, and people just want to Buy It Now and not hassel with Amazon.
