About this Item

Both of these old books are clean, unmarked, and in Excellent condition! These are handsomely bound hardcover books with red cloth covers and gold lettering on the spines. Volume 1 is titled: Being An Exotic Cookery Book and Volume 2 is titled Being An Exotic Drinking Book. These are Limited Edition books - both Volumes show that these are book numbers 1178 of 1250 copies printed. The books appear to have never been read and have been housed safely inside the cardboard slipcase the last 86+ years. The slipcase is clean and in good shape except the bottom boards have split along the seam on 2 of 3 sides (still hanging on on the 3rd side). The number 1178 is written neatly on the lower spine of the slipcase. This is a hard to find set, especially when found in such great condition. We always ship in a sturdy box.
