Descripción

There is a half-inch vertical tear to top of the spine cloth. Condition "good" with NO dust jacket. 1949 date to title page matches 1949 copyright date; NO printing or edition notice to said copyright page, which is correct for a Simon & Schuster first printing as per the publisher's statements of 1937 and 1947. In 1946, caterer, chef, and cooking instructor James Beard (1903-1985), who saw his mission as "defend(ing) the pleasure of real cooking and fresh ingredients against the assault of the Jell-O-mold people and the domestic scientists," appeared on a local television show in New York City with a fifteen-minute cooking lesson. That appearance led to a national show on NBC in 1946-1947, the first such program in television history. This is Beard's fourth -- but his first "general" -- cook book. (The 1982 reissue would contract the words "Cook Book" into "Cookbook" -- this is the 1949 original.) 322 pp. including Index. Reduced from $332.
