About this Item

Jonathan Cape. London. 1965. First edition. Hardback, oblong octavo; illustrated boards. 138 pages. c. 80 b&w cartoon-strip illustrations. English. 205x245mm. 0.7kg. Very good; light wear to boards, light soiling to boards. Two aspects of Len Deighton's writing - cookery and spy novels - combine in the Action Cook Book. Between 1962 and 1966 Deighton published a weekly "cookstrip" in the Observer. The cookstrip was a cartoon-strip style recipe, where illustration replaced words. The cookstrips are reproduced here, with additional notes, as well as chapters such as 'The Secret Weapon in the Kitchen: the Blender' and 'Bachelor Foods (The Quick Cook)'. Beaux Books specialises in fine and rare books on art and culture in the 20th and 21st centuries. We welcome questions about our books and we are happy to provide any extra images. Buy with confidence from an experienced bookseller. Seller Inventory # 3826
