Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Matching volumes, both numbered "728" out of a run of 1,250, both hand-dated 6 Feb. 1950 ("Java Head, Coconut Grove, Fla."), both signed by the author in blue ink to the blank FFE following lengthy inscriptions to Fritz and Kitty Fenger, and both bearing the bookplates of Frederic Abildgaard Fenger. The top edges of volume II are partially stained from a spill that also marks the rear endpapers of that volume -- our guess is coffee -- though text pages are not affected. Photographic Christmas cards (1942, 1954) from the Bakers to the Fenger family also glued in, one bearing a lengthy inscription from Paulette Baker. Fenger, author of "Alone in the Caribbean" as well as "The Cruise of the Diablesse" is mentioned to pg. 4 of Volume II, and receives a more substantial treatment as "sailor, author, explorer, raconteur, naval architect & gourmet" where he's credited for his "Oyster Pan-Roast, Diablesse," at pg. 77 of Volume I. Fenger is also credited with several exotic drink recipes in Volume II, those references indexed in his typewritten note to the front pastedown. Author Baker (1895-1987) traveled the world during Prohibition in search of exotic food and drink recipes for magazines including Esquire, Gourmet, and Town & Country. An "unlikely hybrid of Indiana Jones and Jay Gatsby, . . . a Gilded Age bon vivant who almost singlehandedly imported 'exotic' foreign drinks onto menus across the United States long before mass market jet travel" ("Conde Nast Traveler," July 26, 2017), his writings are fondly regarded not only for his detailed recipes but also for his anecdotes recalling such drinking and dining companions as Faulkner, Hemingway, and Errol Flynn. His marriage to mining heiress Pauline Paulsen helped finance his travels as well as their estate, "Java Head," near Miami. Volume I grades very good; Volume II downgraded to "good" due to the aforementioned stain. NO slipcase; no jackets as issued. PLEASE NOTE: Overseas shipment of this heavy pair of books is likely to cost $75. In our experience, delivery to Italy or Western Australia is likely to take as much as 90 days. Reduced from $3,500. Inscribed by Author(s).

First Edition Signed
First edition, first printing, inscribed by the author to Paul Mellon, the billionaire philanthropist, on the front free endpaper of vol. I: "To Paul Mellon, [Yale '29 (in different hand)], with sincere good wishes, Charles H. Baker". The present copy is number 381 out of a total edition of 1,250 copies. The highly entertaining account of Charles H. Baker (1895-1987) takes the form of a gastronomic world tour, combining effusive anecdotes with recipes for exotic drinks and dishes. Baker was known as the "Town & Country Gourmet". He was regarded by the Hemingway set as the pinnacle of knowledge in all matters of the good life and by Conde Nast as "a Gilded Age bon vivant who almost singlehandedly imported 'exotic' foreign drinks onto menus across the United States". His recipes were primarily acquired on international assignments for such magazines as Esquire and Gourmet. Provenance: Robert Patterson, who served in the USNR during World War II, with his signed pictorial bookplate on the front pastedowns and an inscription on the front free endpaper of vol. I: "Given to Bob Patterson, Paul's friend and associate on Yale News Board 1929 where he was vice-chair. RP was Asst. Bus. MGR." Mark Elwood, "Meet Charles H. Baker, Forgotten Cocktail Icon", Conde Naste Traveler, 26 July, 2017. 2 volumes, octavo. Original burgundy cloth-backed boards, spines lettered, ruled, and with publisher's device in gilt, red buckram sides, fore edges uncut. With red card slipcase. Humorous photographic frontispieces to both volumes, title page in orange and black. Ticket of the Sporting Gallery and Bookshop of New York to front pastedown of vol. I. Very light rubbing to extremities, various leaves unopened, entirely fresh within; slight wear, staining, and peeling to slipcase: a fine copy in very good slipcase.
