out-of-print,rare Charles H. Baker's The Gentleman's Companion: Being an Exotic Cookery Book or, Around the World with Knife, Fork and Spoon. This is the 1946 printing of the 1939 edition, published by Crown Publishers. NOT the leather bound version, but the version in red cloth, hard bound. We sort of giggle about this book, because the title is so over-the-top (as is some of the writing,) but it really does have information you won't find anywhere else, all about exotic ingredients and recipes. This is a solid reading copy with a number of small problems, but the pages and recipes are all here. Thus, this great price. (Marked down from $50.00.)
