Description:
Paris; Montpellier: Ch[arles] Delegrave et Ce Libraires-Éditeurs; Imprimerie Centrale du Midi Hamelin Frères, 1875. Bibliotèque agricole du Midi, 4. Small octavo (18.5 x 11.5 cm.), 451 pages. Illustrated. Fifth Edition. An unassuming handbook for gardeners, and at the same time a summation of horticultural knowledge by a leading pedagogue in the French tradition. Beginning with a calendar of activities calibrated to the seasons of southern France, the work propels readers into a systematic accounting of requirements and expectations for cultivating both domestic staples and imports from abroad. Especially precise and detailed are diagrams illustrating pruning, grafting, and training en espalier of fruit trees. But a better gauge of Fabre's comprehensiveness might be the more than one hundred varieties of pear known by him to be in cultivation, with notes on their adaptability, the size and texture of their fruit, and the months in which they ripen. The popular title Le bon jardinier would have…

London: J. Scatcherd and J. Whitaker, 1792. Octavo, vi, [50], 467, [1] pages. Frontispiece portrait of the author, and twelve engravings of bills of fare, one for each month. Seventh edition. An extremely popular late-eighteenth century cookbook, with recipes considered to be straightforward and useful, with interesting sections, including: Pickling, Collaring, Potting, Preparation of Hams, Bacon, &c., Elegant Ornaments for a Grand Entertainment, Made Wines, Cordial Waters, Malt Liquors, Culinary Poisons, and Necessary Articles for Sea Faring Persons. Despite its popularity, the book was ghost written by "the printer and hack Richard Johnson" (Lehmann, The British Housewife, page 79). "Farley's claim to fame has rested solely on his cookery book, although this is now known to be the work of a hack writer, Richard Johnson.

Description:
Boston: Little Brown and Company, 1904. Octavo, 289, [16] pages. Index. Publisher's advertisements. Photographically illustrated. FIRST EDITION. While best known for the Boston Cooking School Cookbook, Fannie Farmer had more than a passing acquaintance with issues of health, convalescence and medicine. Farmer suffered a debilitating stroke following high school, and struggled for years to regain her mobility. After her studies at the Boston Cooking School she took summer courses at the Harvard Medical School, where she later would lecture. The school she founded under her own name, Miss Farmer's School of Cookery, developed special equipment for the invalid or convalescent. ExLibris the Frederick C. Adams Publick Libary (discard stamp present), with the library's bookplate and loan records to the rear endpapers, and small paper shelf label on spine; no other marks. Some light wear and fading to the green publisher's decorated binding; otherwise, very good. [Axford page 162; Wheaton & Kelley 2085;…

Description:
Boston: Little, Brown, 1944. Thick octavo (19 x 12 cm.), viii,[3] 824 pages. Illustrated; index. Stated "Seventh edition, completely revised by Wilma Lord Perkins". Originally published in 1896, this landmark work had sold 2,216,000 copies as of this wartime, 1944 printing. In the preface to the original edition (reprinted here) Farmer states: "It is my wish that it may not only be looked upon as a compilation of tried and tested recipes, but that it may awaken an interest through its condensed scientific knowledge which will lead to deeper thought and broader study of what to eat." With some stains internally, and text block a bit shaken. In bright and clean publisher's light ochre cloth, ruled and lettered in brown; tan dust jacket, printed in red and blue, is price-clipped, and with some edgewear. With handwritten recipes, "noodle cheese loaf, bread pudding, eggless cookies, pineapple cookies, sour milk cake, brownies (without sugar)", and some clippings taped-in.
