About This Item
Duell, Sloan and Pearce, New York, 1942 An excellent, very near fine copy of the third printing in an attractive, very good plus dustcover. The author's third book. Grey cloth-covered boards, white spine lettering, white front board decoration (including a wolf), 8 3/4 X 5 3/4 inches, 261 pp., index. Book very near fine (slight soiling, edges of book block, else fine; pages clean, with no markings, and binding tight and square). Dustcover very good plus (modest edgewear and rubbing; not price-clipped --- substantially better than usually found). A very entertaining book. "In order to cook a wolf, you first have to catch one. That should not be difficult these days. Just look out the door. Once you know he's there, sit down and read M.F.K. Fisher's book. It is extraordinarily entertaining and practical, a guide to the art of living happily and well --- even though close to starvation." (K021). Hardcover. Near Fine/Very Good.
