    <body><![CDATA[Pretty much the t.v. show in book format. Bourdain offers a little more insight to the goings-on behind the show, but much of it already heard/seen on the series. Still... it's Bourdain and what's not to like!]]></body>

It's photo documentation of him and his crew making the television show <em>No Reservations</em>.  Each location has its own short intro, but the book is dominated by the photos.

    <body><![CDATA[This is really just a companion book to Anthony Bourdain's Travel Channel series, though admittedly one that would look handsome on your coffee table. It's full of glossy pictures of the people and places from the first three years of his shows, including behind-the-scenes images you may not have se...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/43890228">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I never thought I'd like Anthony Bourdain, though my husband has devoured all of his books and speaks so highly of his acidic, biting style of writing, speaking and living.  Marc got this book for Christmas, and I found myself flipping through it and LOVING it.

I've watched enough eps of <em>No Reservations</em> to know TB's cadences and speech/vocal nuances.  And this book just proves that he writes like he speaks.

    <![CDATA[&lt;div&gt;&lt;div&gt;<strong>An illustrated, behind-the-scenes travel journal of Anthony Bourdain&#8217;s global adventures.</strong><br/> <br/>More than just a companion to the hugely popular show, <em>No Reservations</em> is Bourdain&#8217;s fully illustrated journal of his far-flung travels. The book traces his trips from New Zealand to New Jersey and everywhere in between, mixing beautiful, never-before-seen photos and mementos with Bourdain&#8217;s outrageous commentary on what really happens when you give a bad-boy chef an open ticket to the world. Want to know where to get good fatty crab in Rangoon? How to order your reindeer medium rare? How to tell a Frenchman that his baguette is invading your personal space? This is your book. For any Bourdain fan, this is an indispensable opportunity to hit the road with the man himself.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;]]>

So, when I saw this in my local public library, I decided to take a chance on it. The photos are great, and this is mostly a photo book with some narrative.

    <body><![CDATA[Interesting and quick read but definitely not Bourdain's best work - I definitely liked &quot;A Cook's Tour&quot; better than this one.  Pictures are nice and worthwhile addition to each separate story/description.  My favorite chapter was the one on Beirut.  ]]></body>
