Beschreibung

First Edition. Frederick A. Stokes Company, N.Y. 1904. hardback, 8vo. cloth, tipped on illustration of the author in her kitchen, frontispiece portrait, 268pp. illustrations by F.B. Farley, lower cover badly dampstained but not affecting contents which are clean and very good. This is a decidedly odd not to say mad book. There are recipes which might be described as such but many of them list only the ingredients with no method especially in the cake section, these are all on the odd pages, on the even numbered pages are the most awful jokes: Guest: What are these chops, lamb or pork? Waiter: Can't you tell by the taste? Guest: No. Waiter: Well, then, what difference does it make? and poems and songs. Definitely a collectors item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 5156
