Very well preserved copy of this rare cookery book. 20 beautiful colour plates and many black and white illustrations, Dark red – wine – color cloth, made to look leather-like. Elaborately ornamented tittle plate gilt on the front cover.
Very clean with no markings. Some commercials and advertisements printed at the front and back of the book.
Hinges cracked in the back and front of book. All pages still attached. Yellowing, very light foxing, corners bumped, cover rubbed. The pages are clean with no soiling, writing, or tears. The covers are clean with some shelf-wear on all sides and the spine, corners bumped but overall good. A mark on front cover in middle right of the board. Spine shows signs of a touch of staining from kitchen-use.
Front fly leaf: the top quarter of page is torn out.

First UK edition, first impression, originally published in a limited run in the US two years earlier. Lambeth was an award-winning American pastry chef who emigrated to England and founded his own successful pastry school.

A scarce title in this condition. A very good copy.
