pp. 183 [i.e. 187] pages. Gorgeously illustrated art-nouveau style card covers bearing a small publishers' hole-punch to the upper left corner of the front cover for hanging. Handsomely illustrated throughout with many colour illustrations of a variety of baked goods, many full-page. The original two to three coupons printed on the ffep have been neatly excised. Otherwise, remarkably well-preserved, with contents bright, clean, and unmarked and tight, sound binding. Text entirely in French. Overall, very good+ to near fine.

At time of cataloguing this edition does not appear amongst the holdings at Guelph University Archives & Special Collections: Cookbook Collection, or McGill.
