About this Item

Octavo, 130mm x 190mm. 128pp. Paper-covered boards with cloth spine, the design in pink and black with repeated motifs of food items by Edward Bawden. The boards are in good order with mild wear to one or two corners. Two pages (32 & 33) have a few what may be light ink stains else VG. No inscriptions. One of a series of books by Heath from this publisher published in the early years of the war. The book is now in a protective removable acetate cover. A good copy of this scarce title. Ambrose Heath [1891-1969] was a prolific author of cookery books, especially during the war years when he brought his imaginative approach to what was available on the Home Front. Here, he extols the virtues of tinned foods and how one can make a decent meal with the addition of a clever few touches.
