2 large, heavy folios with accordion-fold that includes the recipes on a CD-ROM, English-language edition, two books total 656 pages, paper-covered black boards with dust jackets, extensively illustrated. This set takes us inside the Catalan institution that was for years a gourmet shrine, for those who were lucky enough to get in. It was repeatedly honored as the world's greatest restaurant before it closed in summer 2011. The closing added to the importance of these books.
