Book
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. Otto Soglow (illustrator). Book Club Edition. A charmingly humorous satirical novel about a meek American who goes to France to research a cookbook and unwittingly becomes an international incident. I must confess to being a tad confused about the publication dates of this book. The copyright date is 1933 and the first trade edition was by Stokes which is usually listed as 1934, with a U.K. edition from Gollancz published later the same year but listed as 1933 or even 1936. My guess is that the work was copyrighted at the end of 1933 and actually published in January 1934. These Literary Guild of America editions were usually published simultaneously with the trade edition, so I'm giving this copy a 1934 date. It's a nice book - blue cloth boards with a little illustration blocked in gilt, top edge stained red, others untrimmed. There are three-color cartoon illustrations on the endpapers and a two-color frontispiece drawing by the cartoonist Otto Soglow (he of "The Little King" comic strip). A very good copy indeed with very mild browning to edges and one very small tear in the cloth binding. Dust jacket is very good, with a little browning, some minor wear and nicks to edges and extremities, and some slightly heavier wear and chips to base of spine. An excellent copy for the 1930's and a lovely example of this fun read.
