London: Hamish Hamilton, 1937. First British Edition. Black and white illustrations. Hardcover. Octavo. xii, [2], 1-253 pages.

Fisher’s first book in its first British edition. This elegant and quietly revolutionary work blends history, appetite, and wit into the foundational text that set the course for modern food writing.

Scarce in the dust jacket.

Very good in a very good dust jacket. Bound in dark orange cloth over boards, light orange endpapers. Gilt stamping to spine is somewhat darkened, mild fading to spine, a few spots of fading to boards, and minor extremity bumps. Jacket has a touch of fading to spine, a pea-sized hole along lower joint fold, and a 1/4" chip along 3/4" of heel of spine. Jacket price intact. A very attractive copy.
