Description:
San Francisco, Cal, 1937. Bi-fold menu bound with cord and mounted on wrapper, as issued (22.5 x 29 cm.), [2] pages. Illustrated by Wyman Taylor (1890-1972). Banquet menu for a dinner honoring Bert Walker, President of the San Francisco Rotary Club. The fanciful menu purports to be a radio broadcast "being broadcast over station B.U.R.P. in the Owl Room of the Bohemian Club. The sound effects are all genuine..." The illustrations depict one of the celebrateés reading the text of the radio show into a microphone surrounded by the still relatively sober partygoers. In the second illustration, the same men are in significantly worse shape, wheeling another home in a wheelbarrow. The menu includes a drinks list, presumably in order of service, with the text - from "Gibson and Old Fashioned Cocktails" to "Assorted Liqueurs" - written in progressively shakier handwriting. A bit of a water stain down the right hand side of the menu and some light soiling; still generally very good. Signed by ten of the… Read More

Description:
Philadelphia: E.L. Carey & A. Hart, Chestnut Street; Stereotyped by L. Johnson, 1837. 24mo. (14 x 10 cm.), 267, [1] pages. FIRST EDITION IN BOOK FORM. This collection of food essays first appeared in the London weekly journal, The Original, published by the author, from May through December of 1835, and a bound volume of The Original which included these essays appeared in 1836. A second edition was published New York, 1874, and a third in 1881 with the modified title, Aristology, or, The Art of Dining. Later editions of the book have been incorrectly attributed to Abraham Hayward, author of The Art of Dining; or, Gastronomy and Gastronomers (London, 1852). Thomas Walker (1784-1836) was an English lawyer, police magistrate, and gourmet. The word "aristology", which was added to the head of the title in later editions, was of his own coinage, and described his simple, unaffected approach to dining. In publisher's embossed cloth binding, with gilt title to front board. Some spotting to cloth, wear to… Read More

Description:
Chicago, Ill: Manning Publishing Company, 1931. Quarto ( x cm.), 468 pages. Illustrated with a frontispiece portrait of the author and over eighty color and halftones. FIRST EDITION. A sizable cookbook from the publisher of Woman's World magazine. Introduction by the publisher himself, Walter W. Manning, dated February 1, 1931. There is another version of this book, also dated 1931, but with a Reilly & Lee imprint; we believe the Reilly & Lee issue to be a later, cheaper edition. Lily Haxworth Wallace was best know as the author of The Rumford Cook Book. A bit of fixing to a few pages, including the title page, otherwise internally clean and sound. Original cream color cloth, embossed and decorated in black. Wear to cloth at head and foot of spine, and some light soiling to cloth. Near very good.

Description:
[London: the author;] J. Smith, Printer, 193 High Holborn, 1826. Duodecimo (14 x 8 cm.), v, 144 pages. Index. Publisher's advertisements on rear board. Date from author's statement in preliminary "Advertisement", "London, July 1st, 1826". Perhaps a first edition, but sequence yet to be established, of this confectioner's manual by an author, "Late of Philadelphia". We know of five printings between 1826 and 1831 (in London, Bungay, and Leeds); the publication sequence remains unclear, as all copies we've been able to examine contain the same author's advertisement implying this issue is a response to the successful sale of an earlier printing. We have located no issue preceding 1826, nor has there surfaced an American issue of this work by a James Wallace, confectioner; no information shedding light on the author's connection to Philadelphia has surfaced. This begs the question of whether this is the work of an American author, and therefore an unrecognized early American cookbook, (but one published… Read More

Description:
London: Routledge, Warne, and Routledge; [M'Corquodale and Co., Printers], 1863. Octavo (17 x 11 cm.), viii, 375, [1] pages. Index. Illustrated with eight unnumbered leaves of plates. Stated "New and Revised Edition", though we've been unable to locate any earlier issue of a Walsh work with this title. In addition, there is no record of an issue under this title prior to 1864; therefore, FIRST EDITION THUS. The editor, John Henry Walsh, F.R.C.S., was author of A Manual of Domestic Economy (first issued 1857). He was one of a number of mid-19th century authors who consciously aimed for an audience that today might be called upper middle class today and at those who aspired to be so, an enabler of what has been called the "flight to gentility". In publisher's green, patterned cloth, with gilt emblem and title to front panel. Re-backed in red morocco, with original gilt-decorated and -titled backstrip laid-down. New endpapers. In all, very sound and handsome copy. Near very good. With the bookplate of… Read More

H. Thomason, 1885) and La Cuisine Creole (New York: Will H. Coleman, 1885), published as an anonymous work, but belatedly (and misguidedly) attributed to Lafcadio Hearn.
