Gourmet Guides was a San Francisco cookbook store started by Jean Bullock in 1973 that was turned into an on-line store by Sarah Bullock. Gourmet Guides bought closeouts, over-stocks, remainders and damaged books on cooking related books, for resale. They went out of business in 2008.
Famous quotes containing the words gourmet and/or guides:
“For an artist to marry his model is as fatal as for a gourmet to marry his cook: the one gets no sittings, and the other gets no dinners.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“Children can’t make their own rules and no child is happy without them. The great need of the young is for authority that protects them against the consequences of their own primitive passions and their lack of experience, that provides with guides for everyday behavior and that builds some solid ground they can stand on for the future.”
—Leontine Young (20th century)
