8vo., Second Edition, on laid paper, with frontispiece, illustrated title, and numerous full-page and smaller illustrations in the text, some relevant annotations in pencil to several recipes; original olive cloth, backstrip blocked in red and lettered in gilt, a very good, firm copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter browned at fold-ins, rubbed at joints, and mildly browned at backstrip. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR ON HALF-TITLE in the usual blue ink with double line. David's second book, fitst published in 1951 and to many the finest of the three classic titles that changed the nature of English cookery for ever. In common with her first work 'A Book of Mediterranean Food' this volume is greatly enhanced by the wonderful Minton illustrations, particularly the artwork for the wrap-around dustwrapper. In this second edition (from Macdonald rather than Lehmann) David adds a new Preface explaining the scope of the work, and excludes certain details relative to wartime rationing as no longer necessary. SIGNED COPIES OF DAVID'S WORKS ARE VERY SCARCE.
12mo., First Edition thus, with several woodcut illustrations in the text, neat nineteenth century signature on front free endpaper, title and first page of text; original publisher's brown grained cloth, boards with double frame border enclosing an elaborate an elaborate lozenge all in blind, very neatly recased with new cloth backstrip to style, original gilt lettering laid down, fore-edges lightly dust-soiled else a very good, crisp copy in sympathetically restored publisher's binding. According to the English editor's Preface this scarce work is 'an adapted translation of one of the most popular treatises on French Cookery, entitled La Cuisiniere de la Campagne et de la Ville ou Nouvelle Cuisine Economique, Paris, Audot, 1846'. The success and stature of the French original is compared to that of Mrs. Rundell. It has been suggested that this is in fact a second edition of a work with a similar title published by Thomas Boys in 1825 [Bitting, p. 554; Oxford, p. 157; Wellcome III, 67]; however this would contradict the Preface, and there is no mention of such a kinship in Oxford who lists both volumes. A very nice copy of an extremely scarce work. Oxford, p.177 (recording the publisher as 'David Boyne'). Not in Cagle.

210, 2 [ads] pages. Numerous attractive black and white illustrations in text. "Bachelors are the most charming of entertainers. What woman ever refuses an opportunity to chaperon at a bachelor dinner or studio tea? What debutante does not feel secretly ecstatic at the very idea of looking behind the scenes and peeping into the corners of some famous bachelor menage?" - page 2. "There is no complete compendium for the ambitious bachelor, but his proverbial fare of 'bread and cheese and kisses' needs to be modified to suit present-day needs, and the judicious addition of a few crumbs to his store of provender may be welcome. From these crumbs from many bachelor cupboards, then, may he find an occasional 'crumb of comfort' and a little lift over some hard place along the road. If he finds it herein, the purpose of this book will have been fulfilled." - pages 7-8.
