Room for Dessert by David Lebovitz

For over a year I have been trying to find a reasonably priced copy of the out-of-print book Room for Dessert by David Lebovitz.  Oh, I found plenty of copies out there, but they ranged in price from $80 to $800.  Considering the original cover price was only $30, I just couldn't bring myself to pay that much (sorry David!).  But FINALLY, I found a private seller on amazon.com that was selling it for a mere $32, so with shipping, I only paid $36.  I could live with that!

It finally arrived yesterday, and not only was the book in much better condition than I expected, there was a very much unexpected surprise included.  It was a signed copy!  I was so excited that I jumped around like a giddy school girl.  I am such a fan of David Lebovitz: I read his blog, I follow him on twitter, and I follow him on Facebook.  Score!

Stay tuned to this blog, where I will soon be trying out some of the recipes from this fantastic book, as well as some delicious ice cream from his The Perfect Scoop.  I'm going to make his cheesecake ice cream tomorrow, so check back soon for pictures!
