Title: A California Cook Book
Author: Williamson, Sarah M. (compiler); [Lionel Josaphare (illustrator)]
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: San Francisco: Published by Town Talk Press, 88 First Street, 1917. Tall octavo (28.5 x 18 cm.), 47, [3] pages. Illustrated wrappers with envelope fold. Includes the cancel leaf tipped-in at the rear, "Some War Recipes and Others". FIRST EDITION. An early and attractively produced San Francisco cookbook, issued as the city was finally putting the Great Earthquake behind it, but the nation was on the brink of entering the Great War. Recipes are attributed, and a separate list of contributors is included. The list is a who's Who of San Francisco society at the moment. In addition to expected recipe sections such as Soups and Sauces, Fish: Fresh and Salt, Entrees, Punch, Flesh, Fowl and Game, Vegetables, Puddings and Pudding Sauces, Fancy Desserts, etc., also included are The Economical Hamburger, Hot Cakes and Waffles, and Favorite "Kosher" Dishes. Some of the recipes are given in great detail, such as a Gigot of Lamb, Lilianne, contributed by Raphael Weill, Chicken Fricassee with Noodles, by Mrs. Joseph Steinhart, or Marshmallow Pudding by Mrs. Roach, which has two added suggestions on additions to the dish from a Miss Ray Bromley and a Mrs. Mayo. In illustrated tan wrapper, lithographically printed in brown with an illustration by San Francisco artist and writer Lionel Josophare (author of the 1909 classic The World of Suckers). The text block is separating between the first and second signatures, though the wrapper is holding the whole together with some security. There is a light tide line at top and bottom throughout, but the pages are clean and bright. A bit better than good. [OCLC locates thirteen copies, almost all in California; Glozer 347; not in Strehl].

Title: The Handbook of Dining; or, Corpulency and Leanness Scientifically Considered... Comprising the art of dining on correct principles consistent with easy digestion, the avoidance of corpulency, and the cure of leanness, by Brillat-Savarin. Translated by L.F. Simpson
Author: Brillat-Savarin, [Jean-Anthelme]; (Leonard Francis Simpson, translator)
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: New York: D. Appleton and Company, 443 & 445 Broadway, 1865. Small octavo (18.5 x 12 cm.), 200, [4] pages. Advertisements. The First American Edition of Leonard Francis Simpson's English language translation of Brillat-Savarin's magnificent Physiologie du Gout. The earliest English language translation was that of Fayette Robinson, published in Philadelphia in 1854. Simpson's translation here is quite unfaithful to the original, admitting in the Introduction that "Many parts are, however, condensed, others omitted, as not suited to the present tone of society." Starting in 1864, editions of Simpson's translation (published in the UK) strayed even further, with emphasis placed on a rejection of gourmandise, and the title to what we have here. Quite a departure from Brillat-Savarin's original. But the translator did have high hopes for this book to affect a change upon Britain, and presumably in America with this issue. The Translator's Preface has been omitted in this edition, which is a shame, as it takes the form of a discussion among Olympians, where the goddess Gasterea speaks up to Jupiter, informing him that, "There is a race... of bold sea-girt islanders who worship me well in their way; indeed, mighty fires of coal never cease to burn in my honour; but it a melancholy fact, that London does not know 'How to Dine!'" The author proposes a reform movement starting with this book. In publisher's blind ruled and gilt-titled burgundy cloth. Very near fine. [Bitting, page 437; Cagle 104].
