Poached Eggs Florentine from Gourmet’s Gamble, 1962, Las Vegas Cookbook–Guidebook

Gourmet’s Gamble, 1962, Las Vegas Cookbook–Guidebook:  Gourmet’s Gamble, 1962, Las Vegas Cookbook–Guidebook. Great cookbook and guidebook to 1960s Las Vegas, with tons of local color and juicy hotel recipes.  This book was written by Blanche Campbell and published by The Naylor Company, San Antonio, Texas.  The first pages present the sites and attractions of Las Vegas, with a bit of Las Vegas history, talk about the casinos, sports teams, and scenic views, all told in a light-hearted, conversational tone. The last 133 pages are recipes for all the classic courses –all made with the exquisite recipes of the best hotels in Vegas.

This is a hardback book with dust jacket and 199 pages. The book is in mint, as-if-new condition.   The hinges are perfect, the binding is perfect, the pages are completely clean and clear.  The dust jacket has a few dings, and it is now safely encased in Mylar.  Great gift!
