I have been trying really hard not to do this post. So much is being mentioned about this heavily hyped and praised romp through the world of cooking, that any post here seems trivial. But just a short post to draw the attention of those who have been away on another planet.This 6 volume, 2400 page "book" took Nathan Myhrvold, the ex-Microsoft billionaire and his team of 15, five years and "More than a million, but less than 10 million" dollars to develop. 1,500 recipes, which you will never make. But if you are interested in food and cooking, and are a trust-fund baby, you will get this book. Amazon price - $421. That is less than Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese per kilo. But this is much, much more than just a book. Chroma centric inks. Stochastic screening. Mindboggling
The book is backlogged on orders, but here are some links.

Slimseun, now I officially hate you. I had no idea that book existed. Now I need to find $421 as soon as possible. Suddenly my collection of Adria, Trotter, Blumenthal and Keller seems somehow inadequate...
Ha Ha Plus shipping.
