    Thanks OP, ordered one. Pity they do not support Paypal, but worth the risk I reckon :)

    • Janko on 29/07/2015 - 17:30

      Yeah, a few red flags on the checkout procedure had me thinking it could be dodgy too.

    • ihfree on 29/07/2015 - 20:22

      Don't think there is anything to worry about. Ordered a few things from 1-day over past few years. Site is associated with Torpedo7.

    bad timing on my part. i bought it for $145 last saturday as a gift for a trainee chef. it's an excellent book, well worth the $145.

  • infinite on 29/07/2015 - 14:30

    Word of warning - my copy of this book weigh's in at a whopping 6kg, so look out for shipping costs !!!!

    • yojabbajabba on 29/07/2015 - 14:32

      It's $6.99 for shipping (confirmed price to 3082)…

        That's an excellent price. Aust Post charge $8 for like a 300g parcel.

    Nevermind.

  • Chthonic on 29/07/2015 - 14:38

    Argh! Left my wallet at home and they don't accept paypal! If anyone in the ACT is looking at buying this PM me and I'll pay for your postage (so you only have to pay $30 for your copy).

    That is an exceptional price for this masterpiece. If I didn't already have a copy, I'd buy it.

  • doridori222 on 29/07/2015 - 14:40

    I thought $50 at Costco was an amazing price, but this is even better. Thanks!

  • engineeringprof on 29/07/2015 - 14:41

    Fair price, thanks OP
    Note that they update these every 5 yrs (approx), so I imagine the newest one is coming out shortly
    That being said, will probably cost 4 times the price.

  • Morien on 29/07/2015 - 14:42

    This is a great book to own if you are a chef, but the best phrase I have found to describe this book is:

    'The world needs this book, but you probably don't'

    Please be aware that this is a reference book, not a cook book

    • elektron on 29/07/2015 - 15:02

      You can substitute "this book" with "more eneloops" and it will still ring true.

  • bugman on 29/07/2015 - 14:49

    Maybe try and refreash page, site says : (however if other people don't complete their purchase it will become available again soon)."

    • littlecreatures87 on 29/07/2015 - 14:56

      been trying for 10mins. no luck

      • Dubbin on 29/07/2015 - 15:01

        The baskets time out after 10 mins so i'm guessing that they have all gone

  • chenc64 on 29/07/2015 - 15:05

    Just bought 1!

  • boldy80 on 29/07/2015 - 15:06

  • Janko on 29/07/2015 - 15:30

    Thanks OP - didn't buy this before because it was over $100 - grabbed one for me, one for a gift.

  • EBC on 29/07/2015 - 15:33

    I just got one! Seems carts are still timing out occasionally. Keep trying if you really want one!

    • EBC on 29/07/2015 - 15:37

      I don't know why I am still clicking "Try again" as I already bought one but it is coming up with the buy now button occasionally. Doesn't last long though.

  • Dubbin on 29/07/2015 - 15:34

      On Ozbargain, the only "buyer's regret", is not buying more. ;)

    Had my purchase pending on the confirmation page about an hour ago, forgot about it. Came home and it let me complete the purchase! Hoping they have stock for me :-)

    Amazing book, cost $200+ in physical bookstores. Glad I bought one, you'll see me on TV on MasterChef 2016. Instead of wearing the stupid M aprons, I'll wear an [OZ]bargain logo on my apron.

      Lol. Do some research on how scripted and regimented that show is. Aim for ozb earrings scarf or some other affectation.

    If anyone has a spare copy they'd like to get rid of, please PM me. Thanks!

  • Bunnyburger on 29/07/2015 - 22:48

    Darn I missed out, on another note Le Guide Culinaire is a pretty good book, some outdated concepts but still a great classic!

  • Juvi on 30/07/2015 - 02:02

    Think my wife got one from Costco a few months ago not sure of price think it was in 40s range

  • Jenny Jingle on 30/07/2015 - 08:20

    Darn! Missed this, would of ordered.

  • DiscoJango on 30/07/2015 - 08:58

    not trying to be smart, but whats actually so good about this book? (preferably from someone who has actually read it)

    • Chongy288 on 30/07/2015 - 11:44
      +1

      I'll be honest.. I'm just getting it and leaving it on the bench to seems like I know what I'm doing I the kitchen..

      looking at the comments about the book it is pretty clear that it is more a encyclopedic of ingredients than a recipe book, I do hope there is some french basics like how to make a roux or Mayo.

  • garetz on 30/07/2015 - 10:11

    that site looks dodgy as.

    Just got an email reminder that my order is coming in 6-9 working days, but what is strange is the email address @1-day.co.nz. I am positive I bought from the AUS site.

    Cause for concern anyone?

    Received mine today and the packaging was terrible….. The book was kept in a bag. The book's display box has a tear with all the corners damaged and the book itself has marks all over… Really poor stuff for such a impressive book.. All wasted because of cheap packaging.. Definitely be complaining.

    • ihfree on 06/08/2015 - 23:48

      Also received today - was luckier with the packaging - just one minor dent on the display case.

    • voteoften on 07/08/2015 - 10:26

      I ordered a set if cast iron pans from them . Actually four sets. Three came in a biz that contained them properly. The fourth was in a box with the handle if the latest one or two sticking out and had therefore been mistreated in shipping and the box was quite ripped up. These were the old fashioned cast iron pans though, with no other materials. Just a solid piece if iron so they did not get damaged.

      I think anyone who received a damaged box should complain to them and ask for a refund. That really is not good enough.
