About This Item
Birmingham: Linley Heflin Unit, 1940. First Edition. Wire Coil Bound. Very Good+. Roderick D. Mackenzie (cover art). 8vo. Pp. 268 followed by [18] of advertising. Illustrated with black & white drawings, recipes hand-lettered. Stiff paper photo illustrated boards, wire coil bound. Edges minimally rubbed. Leaves crisp, bright and unmarked. The recipes are signed by their contributors and accompanied by charming illustrations. Even the display advertisements are attractively hand-lettered. The misguided covers were intended to be an Art-Deco triumph of metallic sheen: Instead, they flopped, displaying an austere industrial aesthetic.
Linley Heflin continues to provide scholarships for Alabama women to attend Alabama colleges. Despite all their good intentions, it's been suggested that recipes contributed by member's of Southern women's clubs are actually the toothsome creations of their African-American domestic help. Of this first edition, OCLC records holdings at ten libraries. A notably well-preserved copy of a scarce pre-WWII cookbook.
