The Essential Oyster revisits the American oyster scene a decade or so after the publication of Jacobsen's James Beard Award-winning Geography of Oysters. This book is beautiful, in words and images, and is a definite must-have for any serious oyster lover. (This is a very subdued description of an oyster book we absolutely love because it's beautifully put together by talented people who love food and farmers, and written by the best oyster poet / wordsmith currently putting pen to paper. We highly recommend it!)

We'll ship this out via FedEx ground (typically takes 3 to 4 days) unless you're adding it to a box of oysters (or something perishable), and in that case it'll travel in the box. Please read our order guidelines for info on returns and exchanges.
