During her seven-year tenure at Pacific Book Auction, Sack channeled her passion for rare books into a private antiquarian cookbook collection, and then into a bookshop. Since November 2008, when she opened Omnivore Books on Food in Noe Valley, Sack has gotten to know Alice Waters’ tastes (books on victory gardens, not surprisingly), has enticed Ruth Reichl into buying a first edition of A.J. Liebling’s Between Meals, and has seen her store become the destination for internationally known food writers touring their new books. Please tip Got a tip?
