What a great reason to visit your public library!
in my local library system I found a copy of the +$555, five volume set of “Modernist cuisine : the art and science of cooking” by Nathan Myhrvold with Chris Young and Maxime Bilet
And AFAIK public municipal libraries also participate in inter-library loan programs which can borrow from across the US.
- mistrial9 5y agoI would never, ever, in any way, direct any of my money to Nathan Myhrvold or his circles; if my public library considered buying that book I would object. In fact, thanks for reminding me, I will write a few letters in case this is "a thing"
- aerostable_slug 5y agoIt's an excellent book, FWIW. I get not wanting to support him, but I think the overall gain from having the book available to any interested party trumps the minuscule impact one book sale has on Myhrvold or his businesses. I would encourage your library to buy a used copy if it's that important to you, because in that case no new revenue is generated for the authors.
