Description:
[Place of publication not identified: publisher not identified, 1774. Octavo (21 x 14 cm.), 259, pages. Illustrated with woodcut vignettes. Stated "Seconde edition". Not to be confused with the publication of the same year, also styled "Seconde edition", but issued in an entirely different setting by l'Imprimerie Royale, with different pagination and with eight plates of engravings. This current edition has no identified place of publication or publisher. While both 1774 editions state "Seconde Edition" on the title page, evidence of survival of a first edition remains a mystery to this cataloguer. ~ A vast didactic poem on life in the countryside, in six songs. The poet, Pierre-Fulcrand de Rosset (born in Montpellier in 1708) starts with eighty pages on the Georgics. The first of the six songs considers the foundations of agriculture and breeding. The second is devoted to the vine, from Noah to the modern Carnival. Rosset's Agriculture appeared twenty years before Delille's poem on the same subject.…

Paris: Payot; Imprimerie F. Paillart, 1928. 16mo. (18.7 x 12 cm.), 208 pages. FIRST EDITION.

He nearly beat Curnonsky to the title of prince de gastronomes.Perhaps his greatest effort was an attempt to convince the Vatican to have Gluttony removed from the list of Seven Deadly Sins based on on a grammatical technicality. Internally clean and sound; publisher's wrappers a bit edgeworn and creased at the spine. Near very good. With the bookseller's ticket of Maxwell Einhorn Books to the rear wrapper panel.

Description:
Paris: Librarie Nilsson, 1903. Short, squat octavo, 914 pages. Later edition. Illustrated by Robida. Considered by some to contain the first documentation of a recipe for coq au vin. Priscilla Ferguson discusses this book as an example of Culinary Republicanism, a patriotic recognition of the diversity of parts, and yet the assembly into a whole. She points out that Alsace and part of Lorraine had been ceded to the Germans in 1870, and that the author includes over 30 pages dedicated to the foods of Lorraine (the author's homeland). Pages browned and near brittle, hinges pulled. In publisher's black and gold printed red cloth, worn and soiled, and with the rear hinge started.

Description:
Venezia [Venice, Italy]: La Colomba, 1962. Single-folded menu, (13 x 13 inches), with screen printed typo-pictorial design in green, bland, and orange. Verso printed in the same colors with food offerings and prices. A menu designed by the Belgian surrealist E.L.T. Mesens, probably created for the design contest of famed Venice art bistro La Colomba. Signed "Mesens 62" in the lower left-hand corner, and further inscribed in 1964 by Mesens to his long-time friend and accomplice, the surrealist jazz musician and all around bohemian and eccentric George Melly, "For Diana and George, who should go to eat by gondola in Venezia! Look at the prices. . . Ted. 1964". Melly was introduced to surrealism by Mesens and worked for a time in his important surrealist gallery in London, where he developed a close and complicated three-way relationship with Mesens and his wife Sybil. Melly would go on to write the biography of Mesens, entitled "Don't Tell Sybil." The "Diana" of the inscription is Diana Moynihan,…

Phoenicia, NY: Woodstock Editions, 2000. Two volumes, unpaginated, with black and white photographs. Quarto, boards covered in butcher paper, boxed. Text in French and English. FIRST EDITION, limited to 2000 numbered copies signed by Gissinger. An exchange in words and images between photographer Hans Gissinger and chef Marc Meneau, this book provides a sharp contrast to what is usually considered "food photography". The black and white images reveal the grisly processes of haute cuisine; slaughtering animals, force feeding geese, stuffing sausages. Parallel to their meditation on food and its cultural significance are Gissinger's gripping photographs which find beauty, depth, and humanity in our relationship with what we eat and how it gets to the plate. Fine.

New York: Will H. Coleman, 1885. Octavo (19.7 x 15 cm.), 268 pages. Index. FIRST EDITION, state "A" according to BAL, with the Introduction one and a half pages long, and with the word Brulot with an accent instead of an umlaut (state "B" has a one page Introduction and the word Brulot has an umlaut). A classic American cookbook, and one of the great books of Creole cooking, as it compiles recipes of one of the great American regional cuisines. Included with the other categories is an interesting short section on the service of wine, and a list of cocktails and other drinks, including, of course, coffee. One of the first two books on the subject, it was anonymously printed in 1885, but it has been generally accepted that Lafcadio Hearn is the author. In the same year, the Woman's Christian Exchange of New Orleans published The Creole Cookery Book. Both books were issued to be marketed to the World's Industrial and Cotton Centennial Exposition (December 1884 - June 1885). Since this original issue, La…
