Sobre este artículo
Madison: The University of Wisconsin Press, 2001. INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR directly on the title page. NEW in a NEW dust jacket. Near PERFECT condition. The jacket shows just a tiny bit of very mild shelfwear (like you sometimes find in any new book store). NO chips, tears or fading. Bright, shiny, clean, square and tight. Sharp corners. NOT a remainder. Pages are fresh, crisp, clean and unmarked. First printing of the First Edition with complete number row (13542) on the copyright page. Bound in the original red-stamped biege cloth. Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher: "From the McDonald's hot coffee case to the cattle ranchers' beef with Oprah Winfrey, from the old English 'Assize of Bread' to current nutrition labeling laws, what we eat and how we eat are shaped as much by legal regulations as by personal taste. Barry M. Levenson, the curator of the world-famous (really!) Mount Horeb Mustard Museum and a self-proclaimed "recovering lawyer," offers in HABEAS CODFISH an entertaining and expert overview of the frustrating, frightening, and funny intersections of food and the law. Discover how Mr. Peanut shaped the law of trademark infringement for the entire food industry. Consider the plight of the restaurant owner besmirched by a journalist s negative review. Find out how traditional Jewish laws of kashrut ran afoul of the First Amendment. Prison meals, butter vs. margarine, definitions of organic food, undercover ABC reporters at the Food Lion, the Massachusetts Supreme Court case that saved fish chowder, even recipes - it's all in here, so tuck in!". INSCRIBED / SIGNED by the AUTHOR. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. New condition/New dust jacket. 8vo. xvii, 263pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

Sobre About Books
About Books (Genny and Michael Winne, proprietors, formerly of Parsippany, New Jersey) has been selling rare and OP books since 1985. Besides book fairs and mail-order catalogues, long-time collectors and dealers will remember our lengthy For Sale ads in the Antiquarian Bookman and similar magazines. Our inventory of over 40,000 volumes is especially strong in the specialties listed, but contains fine books in a variety of other fields as well. Because most of our books are stored in protective boxes, rather than on shelves, they cannot be viewed as a whole. If you wish to visit us to examine specific titles, please provide 24 hours notice and we will make them available for your inspection. Phone calls to (702) 750-2722 are welcome, but please, only between the hours of 8am and 10pm (west coast time).
