Description:
Aspen CO: (published by author), 1968. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Near Fine. Stiff pictorial covers, plastic spiral-bound, 130 pages, b&w photographs throughout. All kind of recipes from Aspen townsfolk - retailers, hoteliers, chefs, ski-instructors, teachers, artists - with not only photographs of them but also of Aspen historical and natural sites. Besides being a "local" cookbook, the book is a wonderful time capsule of Aspen as a small town in the Rockies before it became an international destination for the rich and famous who skied or didn't. Copies in library collections are not uncommon, but the title is seldom found on the commercial market. Clean, solidly bound copy.
