Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink

Title: The Kentucky Receipt Book
Author: Frazer, Mary Harris
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: Louisville, Ky: Press of the Bradley & Gilbert Company, 1903. Octavo (23.5 x 16 cm.), 365 pages. “Order of Index” is actually a table of contents. ~ Evident FIRST EDITION. An ambitious, literate, and attractive cookbook – self-consciously presented as a kitchen reference – whose range of nearly two thousand recipes defies fair summation. Suggestive only, then: Kentucky Burgoo, Black-Eyed Pea Soup, Spinach Soup, Baked Blue Fish, Lobster Quenelles, Fried Roe, Spindled Oysters, Jellied Daube Beef, Liver with Chestnuts, Boudins, Broiled Partridge, Apple Bread, Krimneys, Crumpets, Sweet Potato Buns, Virginia Ash Cake, Fried Squash, Pumpkin Sweetmeat, Turnip Greens, Stuffed Cymblings, Stewed Endive, Raddish Salad, Celery Walnut Salad, Cranberry Shortcake, Huckleberry Pie, Orange Fritters, Banana Pudding, Transparent Pudding, Almondines, Pecan Cake, Champagne Frappe, Syllabub, Pralines, Candied Watermelon Rind. ~ Little is known of Mary Harris Frazer (1849-1912) apart from what she says of herself, in a statement so refreshingly bold that it deserves quotation: “There have been many cook books published in America,” she writes in her preface, “but fully aware of this fact and of their excellence, the author of this volume yet claims for her work an entirely unique value. Receipts are found herein which have been collected for generations, including Creole and French receipts known only to the wealthy planter families of the far South, whose trained chefs seldom liked to reveal the secrets of their delicious creations. Having spent her girlhood as a resident of Louisiana, the author early conceived the idea of collecting formulas for all the delicacies of the table served in the homes of her relatives and friends. In later years, coming further North, all that was best in Virginia and Kentucky cookery she also obtained, and it is not claiming more than the truth to state that a more comprehensive cook book has never been issued in the South.” From this it is clear that Kentucky Receipt Book was a very long time in gestation, and that its maker was not self-effacing. From newspaper notices as far away as San Francisco it can be learned that her address was 210 East High Street in Lexington, whence copies could be sent upon payment by post. (Although popular writing about Louisville claims the work as part of the city’s literary heritage, there is in fact nothing in the book’s contents to suggest a culinary connection there.) ~ Owner’s signature (“Margaret S. Haywood”) on preliminary page. Front free endpaper excised; otherwise better than very good, in publisher’s gilt-lettered claret-colored cloth, slightly soiled and bumped, and with one scratch to the front panel. [OCLC locates sixteen copies; Brown 1122; not in Cagle].

It went through eight editions in her lifetime and was not supplanted as a culinary authority until the work of Isabella Beeton appeared in 1861. Oberlé notes that the author "Severely condemns the extravagance of French cooking." Near fine in gray cloth. No dust jacket as issued (later printings were issued in jacket).

Title: London Underground Press Issues of OZ Magazine Featuring Antiwar Satire, Drug Culture, Sexual Liberation, and Political Dissent
Author: Archive of Underground Press OZ
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1967. OZ Magazine. Archive of six issues from the London edition of the influential underground periodical published between 1967 and 1973, documenting the visual culture, political radicalism, and anti-authoritarian ethos of the international counterculture movement. Working in Cultural / Representational Mode, the material reflects the convergence of psychedelic art, antiwar activism, sexual liberation, underground journalism, and anti-censorship politics that defined large segments of the late 1960s and early 1970s counterculture in Britain and beyond. Founded originally in Australia in 1963 and relaunched in London by Richard Neville, Martin Sharp, and Jim Anderson, OZ became one of the most controversial and visually recognizable publications of the underground press movement. Through collage, satire, graphic experimentation, and confrontational political commentary, the magazine offered a platform for critiques of militarism, policing, censorship, patriarchy, prisons, and mainstream social morality while simultaneously promoting psychedelic culture, radical politics, avant-garde art, and alternative lifestyles. OZ Magazine. London: OZ Publications Ink Ltd., 1967-1973. Archive of six tabloid-format issues comprising Nos. 10, 18, 35, 38, 40, and 48. First editions. Each issue measures approximately 10.5 x 8 inches to 12.5 x 8 inches. The archive includes the notorious "Pig Issue" (No. 35) and the magazine's final issue (No. 48). Visually dense and experimentally designed, the issues feature psychedelic illustration, photographic collage, underground comix aesthetics, hand-lettered typography, political cartoons, erotic imagery, and satirical montage. Issue No. 10 prominently bears the headline "The Pornography of Violence" over a blood-spattered image referencing the Vietnam War and includes antiwar commentary, student protest coverage, poetry, and political graphics including a two-page antiwar chessboard cartoon captioned "A game of chess in which the loser gains nothing, & for the winner there is nothing left." Issue No. 18 features provocative racialized commercial parody imagery beneath the slogan "Fingerlickin' Good!" alongside radical cultural commentary and underground visual art. Issue No. 35, the "Pig Issue," depicts an anthropomorphic police pig in riot gear holding a nude centerfold and references the highly publicized 1971 obscenity prosecution against the editors at the Old Bailey on charges of "conspiracy to corrupt public morals." Issue No. 38 includes psychedelic drug-related content such as "Drug Chart Extra" and "Acid Through the Looking Glass," blending illustrated drug information with surrealist reinterpretations of Alice in Wonderland. Contributors and subjects across the archive include Germaine Greer, Timothy Leary, underground music groups such as Soft Machine, and activist organizations including RAP: Radical Alternatives to Prisons. The final issue, No. 48 (November 1973), contains co-editor Felix Dennis's reflective obituary for the magazine marking the publication's closure after years of legal controversy and financial instability. The archive documents one of the defining publications of the Anglo-American underground press movement, a network of radical newspapers and magazines that circulated outside mainstream journalism during the Vietnam War era. Particularly notable is OZ's synthesis of psychedelic visual experimentation with antiwar politics, sexual liberation discourse, drug culture, and anti-censorship activism, helping establish aesthetic and political models later adopted by punk publications, feminist zines, queer underground periodicals, and alternative comics culture during the 1970s and 1980s. The publication's repeated obscenity prosecutions and police seizures additionally illustrate the legal conflicts surrounding freedom of expression and underground publishing in postwar Britain. Light edgewear, age toning, and minor handling wear throughout; overall very good condition. A substantial archive from one of the most influential and controversial publications of the international counterculture movement.
