About This Item
244 pages. Octavo (8 1/2" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's quarter black with gilt lettering to spine over Orange boards in original pictorial jacket. First edition. Bertie (the future King Edward VII) has a princely appetite for tasty morsels of all kinds. With glorious food and glamorous women equally appealing, it's not surprising that he visits Paris every year, with a modest retinue of some 30 faithful servants. The year 1889, however, marks his most eventful trip. Condition: Previous owner's blind-stamp to front end paper else a very good to fine copy in a fine jacket.
