Sheet A/R should have had R1 and R2 as A7 and A8. It was wrongly imposed so that A5r and A6v were perfected by pages of R and vice versa. The error was corrected by pasting leaves from half another copy of the sheet over the erroneous pages. Sheet I was similarly mis-imposed, but instead of using parts of a complete sheet, a half-forme was printed on one side only and pasted over I5v, 6r, 7v, 8r. Text and register are continuous despite pagination error. AAS records indicates their copy has pagination and collation the same as this one. ESTC cites this pagination and offers a variant (2d issue?) with pagination: [12], 97, 92-232, [6] pages (i.e. H1r is numbered 97 and H1v is numbered 92). Table of contents.

This is a 48 page pamphlet covered by two saddle-stitched boards serving as dust jackets, with the front board illustrated. There is no publication date. Only a 1939 copyright, which we assume corresponds to the publication date. Interesting recipes and very nice small illustrations by Kellum throughout the book.Pages, pamphlet covers, and wooden covers are all in excellent condition. The only fault we could fine is that the upper ribbon tie (the ties seem to be original with the book) is frayed and probably needs to be replaced.

FIRST EDITION in cloth and slipcase. As New. Oversize and heavy - extra postage required.
