117 pp. manuscript recipie book and instruction manual for the production of chocolates. 8vo. [1618]
A fascinating and detailed work concerning the use of cacao in culinary practice, mostly toward the production of chocolate confections including "choco-lait" or milk chocolate, which -- while invented in 1875 -- only rose to wide popularity in the early 20th century. Other recipes given include those for pralines, fondants creme, chocolat a la noisette, and a number of proprietary recipes for chocolate candy shells and coatings. The journal is careful, precise, and shows edits and redactions evidencing experimentation by a skilled chef. Unique.

Pulp's anthem of class consciousness, drawn by the genius who gave us Tank Girl. According to the comically Franglish introduction, "They're part of melodic continuum that began in England's dance hall during WWI. More recent points on that timeline have included The Kinks, Roxy Music, Bowie (Diamond Dogs era), The Smiths, and Blur.
