Synopsis
From the best-selling author of Kitchen Confidential comes this true, thrilling tale of pursuit through the kitchens of New York City at the turn of the century. By the late nineteenth century, it seemed that New York City had put an end to the outbreaks of typhoid fever that had so frequently decimated the city's population. That is until 1904, when the disease broke out in a household in Oyster Bay, Long Island. Authorities suspected the family cook, Mary Mallon, of being a carrier. But before she could be tested, the woman, soon to be known as Typhoid Mary, had disappeared. Over the course of the next three years, Mary worked at several residences, spreading her pestilence as she went. In 1907, she was traced to a home on Park Avenue, and taken into custody. Institutionalized at Riverside Hospital for three years, she was released only when she promised never to work as a cook again. She promptly disappeared. For the next five years Mary worked in homes and institutions in and around New York, often under assumed names. In February 1915, a devastating outbreak of typhoid at the Sloane Hospital for Women was traced to her. She was finally apprehended and reinstitutionalized at Riverside Hospital, where she would remain for the rest of her life. Typhoid Mary is the story of her infamous life. Anthony Bourdain reveals the seedier side of the early 1900s, and writes with his renowned panache about life in the kitchen, uncovering the horrifying conditions that allowed the deadly spread of typhoid over a decade. Typhoid Mary is a true feast for history lovers and Bourdain lovers alike.

    My new favorite place to look and purchase books. A+++ The first surprise was the care taken in packaging the book. It was mailed in a nice literature mailer and the book itself was wrapped to guarantee more protection. I was expecting the book to be shipped in just a padded envelope. The book was a great price and the description was spot on. Quick in delivery. Cannot wait to buy from you again. Thank you! From a future customer.

    Fantastic Seller, the magazine was in mint condition, no reader thumb creases neither on front cover, nor back cover. Shipped in a rugged bag envelope mailer, arrived completely undamaged in its 2000 mile journey! BTW, great price, came bagged and boarded too! Thank You!

    Bookseller was outstandingly helpful and communicative when USPS miss-routed the book, and it eventually arrived correctly, in great condition and superbly packed to protect this great edition, signed by author. Bookseller also refunded the shipping cost, even though the error was USPS's, not his.
