Imprint from colophon, which reads in full: Impressum Bononiae a Benedicto Hectoris Diligenter & eme[n]date Anno Salutis Milesimo undequingentesimo. Illus[trissimo] lo[hannes] Ben[tivolio] Reipu[blicae] Bononiensis ha benas feliciter modera[n]te./Superb Incunable satire by noted Renaissance scholar Filippo Beroaldo (1453-1505), a leading humanist, against drunkeness, prostitution and gaming. Dedicated by the author to Siegmun Gossinger, Canon of Breslau, who had been asked whom he found to be more objectionable, a drunkard, gambler or libertine. The author confronts the issue in the form of a witty dispute, arising over a will which a father disinherits the most remorseless of his three sons, of whom one is a drunkard, the other a libertine, and the third a gambler. The prose is made up of the allegation of the drunkard against the two brothers, and their mutual rationalization against the drunkard, both of the parties quoting many classical and scriptural authorities in their favor.

Bourdain, Anthony
307 pages. What to say about this iconic individual? He broke the mold, he told it how he saw it: "I want to tell you about the dark recesses of the restaurant underbelly - a subculture whose centuries-old militaristic hierarchy and ethos of 'run, buggery and the lash' make for a mix of unwavering order and nerve-shattering chaos - because I find it all quite comfortable, like a nice warm bath.Of course, there's a very possibility this book could finish me in the business. There will be horror stories. Heavy drinking, drugs, screwing in the dry-goods area, unappetizing revelations about bad food-handling and unsavory industry-wide practices." Covered in protective mylar. ISBN 158234082X, price $24.95 on front flap. Black boards. Near fine, in very good dust wrapper
