Wear to extremities with a couple of corners rubbed through, top and bottom of spine rubbed and just barely starting to fray, one inch split up front gutter, gilt mostly there and bright, covers slightly soiled, dampstain to front free endpaper, front hinge cracked but tight, textblock cracked at p. 73 but still tight, previous owner's signature on front free endpaper, else very good and better--in remarkably good condition given its age. No dust jacket. La Cuisiniere Bourgeoise, whose anonymous author is referred to as ?Menon?, is one of the best-known and frequently reprinted cookbooks, featuring hundreds of recipes and food preparations along with beer and wine making, ingredients, and strategies for cooking. By using fewer seasonings and less expensive ingredients, the recipes were affordable for the middle class. This cookbook is considered to be the first one intended specifically for a female cook. It was the most reprinted cookbook for over a century and the only one published before 1789 to be reprinted after 1800. Vicaire, Bibliographie gastronomique; Bitting, Gastronomic Bibliography, and Simon, Bibliotheca gastronomica list other editions, but not this edition. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 008838
