First Edition. T. Fisher Unwin, n.d. c.1886. Hardback, small oblong boards, 8vo. ii advertisements, 7-85pp. Domestic Ready Reckoner, iiipp. ads. Covers a little worn and backstrip almost entirely lacking, contents v.g. A dictionary of dishes with one line descriptions to facilitate the lady of the house when preparing her menus. The charm of this item lies in the wondrous illustration on the top cover of a rather wild looking man with a huge hook nose sitting on a mound beside a tree-stump holding cutlery whilst all sorts of birds and fish fly into his open mouth, a cottage loaf, coffee pot and tea pot with legs dance around him and a lobster standing on its tail appears to be conducting this whimsical scene.
