A bookstore that specializes in out-of-print and antiquarian cookbooks.
What's Great:
This shop is small but filled floor to ceiling with a meticulously gathered, organized and and offered selection of cookbooks from the recent and long-ago past. Ms. Slotnick has multiple editions of long-published favorites (Joy of Cooking, Betty Crocker, others), first editions, some with author autographs, obscure and eccentric titles, plus cooking and cookbook ephemera like brochures and advertising.
What to Know:
Bonnie Slotnick is a former cookbook editor who has more knowledge about and affection for cookbooks and their history and legacy than almost anyone in publishing. While the store is open 1:00 to 7:00 p.m. most days, you should call ahead in case there's a variance in the schedule. Also open by appointment.
