Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, Scarce, With Dustwrapper

The scarce first edition, first impression.

In the publisher's original very scarce unclipped dust wrapper.

A witty, nostalgic collection of gastronomic, literary, and political reflections set around the English dining table.

Welby laments the fading art of conversation and refined dining, while celebrating rituals of pre–World War I service, fine wines, and the pleasures of cookery with cultured discourse.

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding, with unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, fine. Dust wrapper back strip age toned, with wrap perimeters lightly age toned. Small loss to back strip head. Internally, firmly bound. Pages clean and bright.

Overall: Fine
