Since then, here in Las Vegas it's been difficult to find, going both to Borders and Barnes and Noble with no luck. I had to finally special order it from Borders, getting it shipped to my home. The agent ordering it for me claimed "it's been a popular book, selling out in a day or 2, and they also didn't order enough copies" to boot. Anyone else having problems finding his new book? I just was confused that a new book by a known author would be short-shipped. Hey, I know AB's no JK Rowling, but he's still well-known to foodies.If you've got the newest book, how is it, so far? I should hopefully have my copy in another week. I hate waiting...*sighs* Sun Nov 11 16:53:25 -0800 2007 23858 Honeychan 1 3116286 I saw a copy at my local Barnes & Nobles. Sun Nov 11 22:43:11 -0800 2007 3115642 11940 DezzerSF 2 3118210 I saw a decent stack of it in the Ann Arbor Borders. I particularly liked the section titled Food Porn in the book. Very nice.

I'm a fan of the show, but I wish the book had more writing. It's mostly a photo-with-captions book. (Although the photos are excellent) I was looking for more behind-the-scenes info as in a Cook's Tour and/or recipes. The "tips for travelers' at the end is entertaining, though. Personally, I wish I had spent the money on the DVD set of the show instead. MX Sat Nov 17 10:09:02 -0800 2007 3118210 138865 chef_max 1 3136849 I just got my copy on Thursday. It's a great photo-book, but the text for an AB book seems minimal to sparse. It just seems so....Odd. I got a huge laugh out of his "food porn" and "best and worst restrooms" chapters. I'm still happy I got it, no complaints here. Sun Nov 18 16:46:23 -0800 2007 3115642 23858 Honeychan
