About this Item

8vo., with coloured frontispiece, 31 coloured plates (2 double-page), 128 plates in monochrome and 15 full-page illustrations in the text, some light age-staining as usual, advertisement endpapers lightly browned; original green cloth, red leather back elaborately blocked and lettered in gilt, exp[ertly rebacked with old backstrip laid down, a very good, firm and unusually clean copy. With numerous trade advertisements (many illustrated and most in red and green) at front and rear, and with a number of recipe cuttings loosely inserted. 'All these new features have had one disastrous effect from the publisher's point of view. The book as it now stands is half as large again as the previous edition, and is offered at the same price' (Preface). Certainly The Edwardian issues are among the most comprehensive in coverage and are very well indexed. VERY SCARCE IN THIS CONDITION.
