19435466Florence Alabama: The Church 1943. Octavo 23 x 15.5 cm. 171 v pages. Advertisements. Errata list page 1. Cover title. Table of contents. Third edition. A generous helping of more than nine hundred recipes clearly an act of perseverance to review and produce during wartime. Southern favorites stand in relief: Cracklin Bread Hush Puppies Ambrosia Daube Glacé Cabbage Au Gratin Creole Peas Fried Bananas Black Bottom Pie Pecan Cake. But this is a substantial revision of the second edition and the Women of Trinity Guild were noting with interest recipes from beyond their immediate sphere as much as was the case anywhere else. Three early instances of Italian-American spaghetti exemplify the cuisine's transition from "peasant" food to household staple. Florence is a well-known constituent municipality of The Shoals in Alabama's northwestern corner the birthplace of W. C. Handy and by extension it is often said the birthplace of the Blues. The seat of Lauderdale County the city and the surrounding region had become prosperous through its abundant access to water power early in the nineteenth century. Though not the first Episcopalian congregation established in Alabama - Anglicans had already settled in Mobile and Tuscaloosa - Trinity Church founded in 1836 and still an active community lays claim to the title of oldest parish in the Tennessee Valley. Several handwritten corrections in pencil otherwise clean and bright internally. In stapled black-lettered red wrappers worn at the corners and with some good sized chips to the spine. Front panel of wrapper is illustrated with a photograph of Wesleyan Hall University of North Alabama. Good only. Scarce. OCLC locates three copies of the present revised edition and one copy of the first edition 1929; a copy of the second edition 1931 is also known; none of these editions is included in Brown Cagle or Cather.

20032ENew York: George H. Doran n.d. Larry McMurtry’s copy signed by him. Illustrated with stills from the film. A used and worn copy with hinges starting and with some edge wear without dust jacket. A literary reference book. A dedicated book man McMurtry opened the first Booked Up book store in Georgetown Washington D.C. in 1970. In 1987 along with his sister Sue Deen he opened The Blue Pig Book Shop in the small Texas town of Archer City which in 1988 was renamed Booked Up. It became one of the largest single used bookstores in the United States. After struggling over the years with declining sales and a changing industry the decision was made to sell off the largest share of the inventory and downsize the business. The auction took place on August 10th and 11th leaving enough stock to continue as a viable brick and mortar retail operation in addition to their on-line efforts. The auction was very well publicized and brought dealers and other curious folks from around the world to observe and participate. As stated by Mr. McMurtry on the week-end of the sale "I've never seen that many people lined up in Archer City and I'm sure I never will again. George H. Doran unknown books
