An Alphabet for Gourmets by Fisher, M.F.K - 1949

New York: The Viking Press. Good in Good dj. 1949. 2nd printing. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [shelfworn but solid book, stray thin pen mark on bottom page edges, small stain on fore-edge (bleeding onto a few pages near the back of the book), a bit of underlining (mostly in the first 40 pages); jacket is serviceable but well-worn, faded at spine and edges of front panel, tape-repaired at spine ends, various creases and small tears, etc.] (line drawings) Writing in her usual "subtle and very personal manner of the pleasures of food and drink," here Fisher adopts an alphabetical approach, with the letters serving "as pegs for a variety of subjects ranging all the way from feeding one's children to dinners à deux," with recipes appended to the end of each chapter. .
