About this Item

Collected by a woman who was hailed at the time by her peers as "one of America's great newspapermen,'' Ms. Bront� here takes her readers on "a rollicking tour of Chicago's incredible Near North Side,'' going behind the scenes at the area's renowned restaurants & eateries to obtain "their most secret recipes." In 191 pages, with vintage pen-and-ink illustrations throughout by local Chicago artist F. McMahon. A FIRST EDITION, Second Printing, from Dec. 1952 (it was so popular after its release that it was immediately rushed into a second printing the same month as it first appeared!), this octavo has deep black cloth-covered boards blindstamped with the title to front, lettered in bright silver to spine. Condition is VG+: very clean save for a faint stain to top outer edge of text block, interior is completely clean & unmarked, pages moderately tanned, commensurate with age. Binding strong & straight, hinges secure. Very minor rubbing to extremities & light corner bumping. The price-clipped DJ is Good+: colorful & unfaded, with moderate rubbing to extremities & mild chipping at both ends of spine & corners; protected in clear mylar cover by former owner. Our photos depict the Exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have!
