London: Peter Davies, 1925. First Edition. Quarter Vellum. Very Good/No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾" - 12. N/a. 326pp. 1925. Limited edition to 750 copies this being number 689. Small 4to. sized. Bound in original publisher's quarter vellum (gilt embossed to the spine) over marble paper-covered boards. Frontispiece of the author. Introduction by Arthur Machen. Numerous wood-cut devices after Andrew Johnson illustrate the text. Leading and lower-edges rough-cut. A former owner's neat blue ink name, place and date to the front endpaper (Katherine Evans, Pear Tree Cottage, 125 Haverstock Hill, Hampstead N.W.3). A little spotting to the endpapers and to the fore-edges (also a little toning to the extreme edges). A couple of light rub marks (or blemishes) to the vellum along the length of the spine - the largest being about 9mm x 6mm. A very good, clean, tight copy of a charming book on gastronomy.
