Notes from a Collector's Catalogue: With a Bibliography of English Cookery Books.
London: Messrs. John and Edward Bumpus, Ltd., 1909.
Octavo, 116 pages. FIRST EDITION. The first gastronomic bibliography by Oxford. Together with the author's English Cookery Books to the Year 1850, Bitting describes this as the "most detailed and exhaustive treating of English cookery books" (352). Though a text on collecting in general, approximately three-quarters of the book is dedicated to a bibliography of English cookery books dating 1508 to 1814. Quarter-cloth over gray boards worn and mildly soiled at edges. Paper spine label perished as usual. Deckled edge with slight discoloration. Good plus.
Price: $100.00
