Quarto, green cloth boards with white imprinting, glossy paper wraparound banner (removable) as issued, 184 pp. Color photography throughout. New and in flawless condition everywhere, stem to stern. See scans. The culinary phenomenon know as Rancho Gordo Beans has been growing in leaps and bounds under the ownership of Steve Sando - formerly a former web designer, Jazz radio disc jockey, and wholesaler of Esprit clothing - since 2001. The Rancho Gordo beans has in fact been 'discovered' somewhat prior to that, in Yountville, Ca, by noted chef Thomas Keller (French Laundry and Per Se restaurants). Though the Rancho Gordo company may re- issue this hardcover gem at some point in time, as the 2019 First Printing it appears to be more than scarce; it's downright rare. Ships in a stout, protective box, of course. A collector's example. There are other editions for use. LT9
