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.

New York's 100 Best Restaurants. Illustrated by Margot Carter.

Portland, Maine: The Bond Wheelwright Co., 1955.

Small octavo, 212 + 3 pages ads. Illlustrated. First edition of this beguiling guide to New York's "100 Best Restaurants." Many remain well known today, even if most have vanished, including Sardi's, 21, Luchow's, The Algonquin, The Oyster Bar and Le Pavillion. Others are less known, but intriguing, such as Barefoot Boy of Brittany Hills or the Hour Glass. The slightest bit of wear to the head and foot of the spine, otherwise fine in publisher's printed board, in a near fine dust jacket. One of the scarcest of New York restaurant guides, and one of the most charming.
Price: $1,000.00
