DAVID Elizabeth — French Country Cooking. Decorated by John Minton. [Third Impression]. BRIGHT, CLEAN COPY IN UNCLIPPED DUSTWRAPPER

John Lehmann, [1952]. 8vo., Third Impression, on laid paper, with frontispiece, illustrated title, and numerous full-page and smaller illustrations in the text, some light offsetting from fold-ins to free endpapers, fore-edges very lightly speckled; original holland cloth, gilt back, a very good, bright, clean copy in bright, clean, unclipped dustwrapper, the latter chipped with minor loss (just affecting lettering) at head of backstrip and with small loss at upper edge of rear panel. Published nine months after the first impression. David's second book, 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. All early issues are very scarce in anything like this condition.
