About this Item

8vo., Second Impression, on laid paper, with frontispiece, illustrated title, and numerous full-page and smaller illustrations in the text, small, neat contemporary signature on front free endpaper, fore-edge very lightly speckled; original holland cloth, gilt back, a very good, bright, clean copy in bright, clean unclipped dustwrapper, the latter chipped (just affecting lettering) at head and tail of backstrip. Published four months after the first impression. David's second book, and to many the finest of the three classic titles that changed the nature of English cookery for ever. In common with her first work 'A Book of Mediterranean Food' this volume is greatly enhanced by the wonderful Minton illustrations. All early issues are very scarce in anything like this condition.
