First edition of renowned chef Anthony Bourdain’s autobiography. Octavo, original boards. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket photograph by Philippe Lajaunie.

In A Cook's Tour, Bourdain crisscrosses the world sampling local delicacies from the sublime to the bizarre, discovering again and again the importance of community, kinship, and the power of food in bringing people together. "In a style partaking of Hunter S. Thompson, Iggy Pop and a little Jonathan Swift, Bourdain gleefully rips through the scenery to reveal private backstage horrors...the guy is hysterical!" (The New York Times Book Review).
