New York, New York, U.S.A.: Konecky & Konecky, 1980. Reprint . Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Comprehensive guide, alphabetically arranged, to both common & uncommon foods, their history & preparation & qualities, from the Stone Age (early Paleo!) to present. Profusely illustrated with images from museums, cookbooks, libraries, historical societies, private collections, & more. Huge oversized hardcover has putty colored paper-over-boards & beautiful, colorful DJ. In 602 pages. Orig. published by Simon& Schuster in 1980, this is a reprint & looks exactly the same. Book is Near Fine: looks & feels nearly Brand New except for 1 flaw: rubbing to outside bottom edges from shelf. Otherwise, completely clean, binding tight & square, pages white. NO writing/underlining/highlighting; NOT ex-lib. Unclipped DJ (no price) is also Near Fine--virtually flawless save for 1" tear at bottom of back flap.Our photos depict the exact book you will receive, never "stock" images of books we don't actually have! .SORRY: book is too large for expedited or international shipping without substantial (at least double) postage increase per USPS.
