Written by Ambrose Heath, an English journalist and food writer who authored many cookbooks. With advertisements throughout. In the original paper wraps. Externally, smart with light wear and minor creasing to the extremities. The odd small mark. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright with the odd small spot.
