Andrews McMeel Publishing LLC (May 4, 2010)

From the Product Description: "...Part historical narrative and part grilling guide and cookbook, Andrew Caldwell's Their Last Suppers: Legends of History and Their Final Meals guides history buffs and gourmands alike through gastronomically inspired biographical accounts of more than 20 legendary personalities...

Unearthing recipes as far back as 323 B.C., Caldwell, the History Chef, provides insight into 2,000 years of culinary lore."

(A review said there are no footnotes though.)

NEWS: Star Wars
In case Star Wars fans missed it: "Random House, Lucas releasing 'Star Wars' e-books"

They're releasing the entire backlist as e-books.  "Thirty titles are currently available in the e-book format, but beginning June 28, all 106 will be available for download."

Apparently these are still very popular and none of the print versions have gone out of print in the last 30 years or so.

"All Star Wars e-books will come with bonus content including additional excerpts from some of the most popular Star Wars books, an updated Star Wars novels timeline and an introduction to the six major Star Wars eras: The Old Republic, Rise of the Empire, Rebellion, The New Republic, New Jedi Order and Legacy."
