Nathan Myhrvold, erstwhile Microsoft CTO and now patent powerbroker extraordinare, has hit the news this weekend, but it’s not for his latest licensing deal with a mobile phone maker , or for a lawsuit against a tech company (or three ) that refuses to pay up for patents that his company, Intellectual Ventures , owns — but for a different kettle of fish altogether.

His book, the self-published  Modernist Cuisine , is a six-volume, 2,438-page effort that he co-wrote with Chris Young and Maxime Bilet (and a 20-person team of cooks), which is selling for $625 (or $455.11 on Amazon ).
