Sobre este artículo
Garden City, NY: Doubleday, Page and Co., 1926 First edition of the author's first work, which she published shortly before opening her fifth coffeeshop..

In the original yellow dustjacket, printed in purple, with chipping to spine. . Octavo. Offsetting from covers to inside of dust jacket. Light toning to leaves at gutter, but otherwise clean throughout. A very good, bright copy in a very good original dust jacket. Alice Foote MacDougall (1867 – 1945) opened her own coffee roasting business in 1907 after the bankruptcy and death of her husband. In the late 1920s, she signed a long term one million dollar lease for her fifth coffee house; by the early 1930s, she owned and operated nine restaurants in Manhattan. In the present work, MacDougall shares her recipes and tips for hosting guests, developed over years of business management. She also published The Autobiography of a Business Woman (1928), The Secret of Successful Restaurants (1929), and Alice Foote MacDougall's Cook Book (1935), the last of which she published after having gone bankrupt during the Depression. The book focused on frugal recipes and techniques for saving and stretching food.

Sobre Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB
Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, women's studies, education, history of science and fine printing and artists' books. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietor: Carol Sandberg
