About this Item

Vol II of the bible of French cooking for the American chef. After it became clear the whole of "la cuisine francaise" was not going to fit into a single volume, this second volume was conceived & issued 9 years after the first one came out in 1961. Foreword by the authors is followed by 555 pages of well-illustrated text, plus extensive Appendices & an Index. Orig. published in 1970, this is the 20th printing of that FIRST EDITION from 1976, retaining the classic fleur-de-lis cover design. Condition is Near Fine: Nicest copy we have handled! It is exceptionally clean & bright, binding is straight & strong, pages creamy white & completely unmarked, hinges secure. Mild corner bumping is only flaw. The unclipped DJ is equally Near Fine: bright & colorful with just a hint of edgewear; beautifully protected in new clear mylar cover for years of culinary pleasure or that perfect gift! Mild fading to blue top stain & slight pushing to heel of spine. We are also offering an equally nice copy of Vol. I; please see our listing #2912 & take 20% off if purchased together! Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! Same Day Shipping on all orders received by 2 pm Weekdays (Pacific time); later orders, weekends & holidays ship very next business day. SORRY: book is too large for expedited domestic or any international shipping without preapproval of extra postage (at least double) per USPS rates.
