Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. Michael Mina's Cookbook is a "Second Printing, 2007" of a book originally published 2006. The author has signed "Michael Mina" boldly to title page in black marker. Above that, book has been inscribed "To: Alice. . .", also in black marker, though whether in the…same hand we're not sure. (Please see scan.) Book was originally priced $50/$65 in Canada. Dust jacket shows some rumpling along top edge, and some minimal soiling. Proprietor / head chef of Restaurant Michael Mina "in the legendary Westin St. Francis Hotel in the heart of San Francisco's Union Square," the author (who acknowledges his business partner, Andre Agassi) aims to offer seasonal American entrees with a variable trilogy or "trio" of accompaniments. The uncredited designer of this book has opted for a relatively small type size for the recipes, allowing a good deal of white space while emphasizing Karl Petzke's elegant, full-page, often "macro" color photos. (We have purposely darkened our scans to make the text visible at all -- be forewarned this is one of those "artsy" modern cookbooks which may be lovely for the easy chair but a bit hard to consult under actual, stressful kitchen conditions.) Our SECOND offering, the Splichal title (ISBN 0002554747) is inscribed to blank verso of FFE "Looking forward to seeing you at 8 o'clock tonight / Joachim." States "First published in 1995 by Collins Publishers San Francisco"; number line complete 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1; totals 144 pp. including index. Diners come to Splichal's Los Angeles restaurants, writes "text author" Charles Perry of the L.A. Times, "to be astonished." Michael Mina's cookbook totals 256 pp., the Splichal entry 144 pp. including Index. This pair of large, signed cookbooks combined into one lot to consolidate shipping charges, price for the pair now reduced from $26. (Due to weight, Priority shipping or shipping outside the U.S. is likely to involve an extra charge.). Photographs for Michael Mina's "The Cookbook" by Karl Petzke / Photography for Joachim Splichal's "Patina Cookbook" by Patrice Meigneux and David Stork (illustrator). Signed by Author(s).
