About This Item
The First UK printing published by Nicholson & Watson, London in 1938. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. Some light pushing and fading at the spine ends and corners. Some offsetting to the blank end-papers and some mild toning to the text-block. Penned name of 'P.D. Wheeler' to the half title (?? related to the restaurant 'Wheelers of St. James'). Sponsorship notice from the Lady Melchett and Hon. Mrs. Malcom Bowes Lyon laid-down inside the front cover as issued. The WRAPPER is complete and is in near Fine condition. Some mild toning to the spine and edges, a light horizontal crease to the rear panel and some light markings to the spine. The wrapper looks striking in the removable Brodart archival cover. Edited by Ambrose Heath, there are 290 pages of famous recipes and wonderful full page B/W illustrations by Mathurin Meheut. The 'Prunier Restaurant' restaurant ran in London from 1934 until 1976. In 1954, Madame Prunier was made Chevalier de la Legion d'Honneur, France's highest honour. A very sharp copy of a handsome production. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
