Signed Vintage 1960s French Cooking
Mastering the Art of French Cooking
Publication: New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1964. Later printing.
Notes: A very good signed copy of the 8th printing of the most influential cookbook of the 1960s. Pro tip: If you are looking for the famous "beef bourguignon" recipe, you won't find it in the index with other beef recipes (like beef Stroganoff), it's alphabetized under Boeuf... This is a serious French cookbook.
Illustrated by Sidonie Coryn. [1–2: blank] [i–vii] viii–x [xi–xiii] xiv–xv [xvi] [1–3] 4–684 [i] ii–xxxii (index) [xxxiii–xxxiv] pages.
Edition + Condition: Eighth printing. A very good copy with a few spots on the fore-edge in a very good, price-clipped dust jacket missing a half-inch or so at the top of the spine (not affecting any text). The jacket also has a few spots and edge tears. This copy is signed by Julia Child on the half-title with her usual "Bon appétit!" Vintage copies, from the 1960s, can be hard to find signed.
