First edition, first printing. Publisher's original black cloth with titles in gilt to the spine, in dustwrapper. Illustrated with a colour frontispiece and two black and white photographic plates. 8pp. of related illustrated advertisements at the rear. Blind-stamp for The Centaur Press to the half title page and publishing details for the press affixed to the title page, presumably indicating their role as distributors of the work, as this does not obscure the existing Spearman imprint. A very good copy, the binding square and firm. The contents with toning to the endpapers and some faint spotting to the edges of the textblock are otherwise in very good order throughout. Complete with the very good lightly-soiled dustwrapper which has a few short tears to the head of the spine panel and some shelf wear to the extremities. Not price-clipped (21s. net to the front flap).
The first edition of this wide-ranging mid twentieth-century vegetarian cookery book by the author and broadcaster Janet Walker.
