North Point Press, New York, 2004. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Illustrator: Mary Scarvalone – line drawings. In this scintillating narrative, acclaimed foodie Mort Rosenblum delves into the complex world of chocolate.

He visits cacao plantations, meets with growers, buyers, makers, and tasters, and investigates the dark side of the chocolate trade as well as the enduring appeal of its product. Engaging, entertaining, and revealing, Chocolate: A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light is a fascinating foray into this "food of the gods." the dust jacket is rubbed at the top of the spine section with a quarter inch tear at the top left hand corner.
