About this Item

First edition thus, first printing; Trade paperback original. Originally published in 1905, this 1914 edition contains new recipes. Illustrated with green decorative floral borders to every page. This very instructional and detailed recipe book with literary culinary quotes, tips, and menus is sectioned into three parts: Family Dinners; Dinners for Occasions; and Company and Formal Dinners. An impressively crisp and well-preserved vintage book. Faintly bumped to lower front corner and lower front spine edge, minute nick to upper spine edge, else very nearly fine and tight, in fresh tan-beige textured stiff-card wraps with French-fold inner flaps over stiff-card cream covers, with red, green and brown titles and vignette illustrations to the front cover, and with brown titles, rules and decoration to the spine; in the rare original 1914 horizontal lined, fragile tissue dust jacket that is age-toned to the spine panel, heavily chipped to all shelf-edges, has a three-inch tear to the upper front panel, and a separation at the front flap fold. (The tissue wrap has done its job in protecting and preserving the covers). Octavo; 257 pages; plus index. Seller Inventory # ABE-1627018360813
