8vo., with coloured frontispiece, 11 coloured plates and 48 plates in monochrome, fore-edges very lightly dust-soiled; original decorative brown cloth, upper board and backstrip blocked in blind and lettered in black, a remarkably well-preserved copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter chafed (not affecting lettering) at head of backstrip. With advertisement front endpapers in sepia and 11pp of similar advertisements at end. 'All About Cookery' (first issued under this title in 1871) is a derivative of Isabella Beeton's final work 'The Dictionary of Cookery'. The 'Dictionary' was first published in 1865 and designed to full the gap between her classic (but highly-priced) 'Book of Household Management' and the cheaper 'Cookery'. A key feature of the work is the arrangement of its subject matter - recipes, menus, implements and so on - in alphabetical order for easy reference. It is her only work so presented and to our belief the first compilation of its kind. The Edwardian and Georgian editions are particularly comprehensive in their scope and coverage. SCARCE IN THE DUSTWRAPPER. See Driver, p.101 and our own bibliography (in progress). Cagle 563 cites the 1903 edition with fewer plates.

pp. lxvii, 420, (8) [Publisher's Catalogue]. Illustrated with 140 wood engravings in text, taken from ancient paintings. 8vo. 230 mm. Later full buckram binding. A very good copy of this great classic (First Edition - 1801). "This book is a key source for information on leisure time activities in 'Olde England,' including sports, hunting, games, dancing, gymnastics, music, festivals including Christmas and May Day and customs such as Mumming, The Boy Bishop, and The Lord of Misrule. It answers questions such as "How do you score a joust?," (p. 125) "When did feral wolves become extinct in Britain?," (p. 12) and "How much do you pay the piper?" (p. 164) And what is Shakespeare talking about when he mentions Shove-Groat (p. 242) or Nine Men's Morris (p. 256)? (The modern equivalents are shuffleboard and tic-tac-toe). Included are numerous quotes from original documents and dozens of plates based on period illustrations. Strutt also documents the constant conflict between popular culture and the religious and secular powers." **PRICE JUST REDUCED! GAMES BOX 5

8vo., Sixth Impression, on laid paper, with illustrated title and numerous illustrations (several full-page) in the text, some faint offsetting to free endpapers, fore-edges very lightly age-soiled; original orange cloth, backstrip blocked and lettered in gilt and brown, a very good, bright, clean copy. DAVID'S FIRST BOOK, AND THE FIRST OF THE THREE VOLUMES THAT WOULD CHANGE ENGLISH COOKING FOR EVER. Lehmann's first edition of 1950 was a small print run, in relative terms expensive and tended to appeal primarily to the converted. It was also the work that combined for the first time David's highly characteristic style with Minton's wonderfully complementary illustrations. Certainly it can be argued that this is the most influential English cookery book of the twentieth century. EARLY IMPRESSIONS ARE SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.
16mo., with an engraved frontispiece (original tissue guard present), engraved and printed titles, and 34 wood-engraved illustrations in the text, wanting Q8, some mild and occasional age-staining, neat contemporary signature on front free endpaper; original dark green cloth, boards elaborately blocked in blind, gilt back, neatly recased, a very good, tight copy. This attractive and compact edition of a culinary staple is enhanced by an unusual hunting scene as frontispiece; the title-vignette depicts a table of wildfowl and short quotation from Suckling. This must have been one of last the issues of Rundell before the onset of Beeton. This edition not in Cagle. Scarce.
