New York, NY Alfred A. Knopf: Borzoi Books, 1980. Hardcover First Edition in book form (1980), Seventh Printing. Very Good in Good+ DJ: The Book shows just a touch of wear along the bottom edge, due to shelving with some crimp to the heel of the backstrip; one page is dog-eared and a half-dozen pages mid-text show a thin crust of white frosting or such at the top edge; the binding is square and secure; the text is clean. Free of underlining, hi-lighting, notations, or marginalia. Free of any ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, plates, or labels. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tighly bound, showing mild wear and minor, unobtrusive flaws. The DJ shows tiny spots of loss at the upper corner tips; mild rubbing some faint smudging to the panels; the top edge shows several closed tears and tiny snags; the price has been clipped; mylar-protected. An attractive copy for kitchen use. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 8vo. (9.5 x 6.5 x 1.35 inches). xi, 428 pages. Illustrated with drawings by Toni Evins. Language: English. Weight: 32.2 ounces. First Edition in book form (1980), Seventh Printing. Hardback with DJ.
