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)
“Old politicians, like old actors, revive in the limelight. The vacancy which afflicts them in private momentarily lifts when, once more, they feel the eyes of an audience upon them. Their old passion for holding the centre of the stage guides their uncertain footsteps to where the footlights shine, and summons up a wintry smile when the curtain rises.”
—Malcolm Muggeridge (1903–1990)
