New York: Fountainhead Publisher's Inc, 1961. Large octavo (24 x 16 cm.), xii, 306 pages. Illustrated. FIRST EDITION, Deluxe Issue, one of an unspecified number of signed copies, this one numbered "H.F.F.". Each chapter describes an element of the fine dining restaurant experience: great chefs, dining room staff, the sommelier, tipping, restaurant guides, and a fairly long view of what at the time was an unbroken line of tradition. The author was a guest editor at Chef Magazine, the official periodical of the Escoffier Society. Fine in publisher's gold over black cloth; no dust jacket as issued (there was a dust jacket with the ordinary issue). In scuffed, black paper covered slipcase, with black-titled gold paper pastedowns.

This book by a Peter Robotti provides a wonderful historical view a fine dining. He was a student of my great grandfather, John "Nino" Malnati. It vividly captures the lost , 'soup to nuts' era gone by.
