Sixth edtion, 'entirely re-written and enlarged'. [ii] 140, iii-xpp. Quarter bound in canvas over paper-covered boards. Boards are heavily worn, rubbed and rounded at coners and browning. Front hinge repaired and, more clumsily with browing sellotape, the first gutter. Previous owner's name, dated 1955, on first true leaf, again on the observations page and on the rear free endpaper. A couple of strained and cracked gutters resulting in some loosening. Pages have some signs of fingering and softening to page edges. Slight spotting on first and last few leaves. Volume is borderline good/fair condition. Some classic English and Europeab recipes adapted for ingredients and technquies available in India; some fusion dishes and some Indian tastes too, with general observations on approaches for Europeans cooking in India in the early 20th century and on the tools and equipment to use.

Shipping terms

Free economy shipping in the UK, regardless of the number of books ordered or the value of the order.

Overseas shipping costs are dependent on the weight of the books orders. You may therefore see different shipping costs for different books quoted alongside the price of the book. Books to be sent to Hawaii and Alaska will incur an additional charge above that quoted for delivery to the USA (this is because couriers charge more for delivery to these states).

Our books are dispatched regularly three times a week. Please inquire if you require expediated or 'best endeavours' shipping.

We use bespoke book boxes for most books; very small, awkwardly-shaped, multi-volume sets etc may have different packaging solutions to best protect them in transit. Our book boxes are made from recycled material and are fully recyclable. We are commited to minimising the environment impact of our book business and hope that you can support us in this endeavour.
