Delicious!

by Ruth Reichl

Delicious! is Ruth Reichl's debut novel, a New York Times bestseller that draws upon her knowledge of food writing and magazine life. The story follows Billie Breslin, a young woman who moves to New York to work at the celebrated food magazine Delicious! After the magazine unexpectedly closes, Billie discovers a hidden collection of wartime letters written by a young girl to legendary chef James Beard, leading her into a story of food, history, family, grief and personal renewal.

This is the 2014 Canadian hardcover edition published by Appetite by Random House, complete with dust jacket. The full number line ending in 1 identifies it as a first printing of this edition. ISBN 978-0-449-01650-3.

The title page is personally inscribed “To Alison — Delicious!”, signed by Ruth Reichl and dated May 17, 2014. This is an inscribed and dated author signature rather than a flat signature.

Very Good overall according to the seller. The author's ink inscription, signature and date show through substantially onto the reverse copyright page, as pictured. The jacket displays light visible handling, with no major exterior damage evident in the supplied cover photograph. Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description.
