Description

James Beard’s American Cookery, First Edition, Later Printing, 1972: Difficult-to-find copy of one of James Beard’s most important works. Published in 1972 by Little, Brown & Company, New York. 877 pages. Has minor shelf wear on the cover, with bumped corners.  But, this was one of those cookbooks that was just scooted around a bookcase, because the inside of the book is in pristine condition. Pages are all completely clean and clear. Binding and hinges are perfect. Has its dust jacket, but it is a mess.

James Beard set out to put American cuisine into its historical context, and he is successful at it, using many of the primary sources we feature and that we have featured.
