This January and February, we're busy moving Rabelais from the shop in Portland to a new larger office space in Biddeford, Maine, a dozen miles away. While we get set up in the new space, we're temporarily not selling online. Once we're all organized and the boxes unpacked, we'll be up online with even more great culinary books. Thanks for your patience. And watch the site for information on our grand opening in late March or early April.
