About This Item
From the title page: "Including: A Select Company of Hand-Picked South American Receipts, each one Beloved & Notable in its Place, faithfully collected on a Journey Involving Over 30.000 Air-Miles Visiting & Eating in Every Civilized Section of that Great Continent."
Good condition. Blue cloth over boards with gold gilt silverware image in botton corner, black text on spine. Faded spine and front cover near spine appears to have a water stain, but it is only on the outside. This is 1 volume. Text is clean and binding is tight. It is only rated good because of the fading and staing on covers.
224 pages including Index.
