4to. Wrappers. Signed by Cyril Connolly at his contribution, "Writers on Restaurants 1, Cyril Connolly's Personal Choice: Wilton's" - "Cyril Connolly - who gave the title for the series - his guests were David & Clarissa Pryce-Jones". 'The bill, for four people, came to £14 16s 6d," he writes in his review. "Careful checking revealed an error of 14s in my favour. Sample prices, 12 oysters 36s, game pie (no price on menu) 30s, steak and kidney 15s (also cold ham and beef), baby lobster 25s, couvert 3s 6d . . . The restaurant is always full and it is essential to book. The businessmen, shorn of their expense accounts, come just the same; the flower of clubland are responsible, with a few tycoons, for the general atmosphere of gaiety and lovely women. Clan Cavendish and Clan Astor usually in evidence and sometimes a royal gourmet . . ." Characteristically spirited number of Mark Boxer's quintessential Sixties magazine (cover by Ian Dury, of Tony Bennett, fashion by Peggy Roche, pin-up of the week Barbara Windsor, photographed by Terence Donovan; other contributors include Gerald Scarfe, Heathcote Williams).
