Some recent media mentions:
“At BookFinder.com, the perennial best-selling cookbook is ‘A Treasury of Great Recipes,’ first published in 1965 by Vincent and Mary Price (yes, that Vincent Price). It’s a padded, imitation leather, gilt- stamped collection of luxurious recipes from the world’s past pleasure palaces, most of them long gone — like chicken in Champagne sauce from Le Pavillon in Manhattan, which closed in 1972.”
“A brilliant new resource for readers…I spent a while testing out the site today and, like the usual service offered by BookFinder, it shows promise of being an incredibly useful tool for readers who want live retail information…They are not just good news for readers, they are mostly welcome news for our authors and the bookselling industry at large, encouraging a diversity, precision and breadth that, three years ago, looked endangered by the big guys.”
