Ruth Reichl's New Book

One of the first cookbooks I ever bought was "mmmmm" by Ruth Reichl. I've ditched all the other cookbooks I had back then; I still have this one and use it often but it's showing the use I've given it over the years (sort of like my poor old body). I'd love to buy a new copy (and get a new body) but haven't been able to find one. I've read her autobiographical works and enjoyed them and happen to think that Gourmet is much improved since she took the helm (although I know that many disagree). Here's the Amazon bit:
Ruth Reichl's Garlic and Sapphires: The Secret Life of a Critic in Disguise has something for everyone. Whether you enjoy her reviews from her restaurant critic days, her two remarkable memoirs, Tender at the Bone and Comfort Me with Apples, or if you are a foodie fan of Gourmet magazine, you will love Garlic and Sapphires. Reichl dishes dirt on fame and working for The New York Times and manages to mix in a few life lessons as well.
