Hardcover. Etat : Fine. 1st Edition. This is a two volume set of author Laurie Colwin's books Home Cooking and More Home Cooking. Both volumes are in fine condition and both books are First Editions. Neither dust jacket is price-clipped, and both are now covered with removable mylar sleeves. Home Cooking, ISBN 039455969X (Alfred A. Knopf,1988); More Home Cooking, ISBN 0060168498 (Harper Collins, 1993). We are pleased to offer, together, both of Laurie Colwin's books on cooking. Although Colwin passed away in 1992, there is much current interest in her work, particularly her food writing. Recent articles include "The Sneaky Subversiveness of Laurie Colwin," (NY Times, July 15, 2021), and "Laurie Colwin's Recipe For Being Yourself in the Kitchen" (The New Yorker, October 11, 2021). Quoting in part from "Laurie Colwin: A Confidante in the Kitchen" (NY Times, April 1, 2014): "During her life she gained a reputation first and foremost as a novelist and a composer of delicately calibrated short stories. But in the years since her death, at the age of 48, her following has only grown, and her highly personal food writing, collected in the books 'Home Cooking' and 'More Home Cooking,' has attracted a new, cultishly devoted generation of readers. Her musings, anecdotes and quirkily imprecise, not -altogether-reliable recipes show up with regularity on food blogs.'She's like the anti-Martha Stewart,' Ms. [Ruth] Reichl said. 'It's not about perfection.' Opinionated, yet down-to-earth, she was one of America's great food writers. SHIPS from Eugene, Oregon, USA. Due to weight of these two volumes, INTERNATIONAL orders will require additional postage and surcharges, please inquire.…

Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Fine. First American Edition. A fantastic collection of sixteen first editions, all signed by Nobel Laureate Gabriel Garcia Marquez and all inscribed by him to the same recipient, Richard Mattie. A painstaking exercise in book collecting, undertaken by the resourceful Mattie over a period spanning from 1997 to 2005 with the assistance of a number of contacts in Mexico who had a close connection to the author by which the signatures were obtained. The collection is accompanied by a 1-inch thick folder, titled by Mattie "The Gabriel Garcia Marquez File 1997-2005", in which he has meticulously documented this nearly decade-long collecting venture, preserving every letter, fax, postal receipt, wire and emails (printed out in full). A remarkable collection. All sixteen books are first American editions, with the exception of Vivir para cotarla which is the true first edition in Spanish, the Columbian edition published by Grupo Editorial Norma, Bogota, 2002. Most books are Fine in Fine unclipped dust jackets, with several exceptions: Strange Pilgrims has slight cloth discoloration at the base of the book; No One Writes to the Colonel has a partial name erasure top of the front free endpaper and some top edge foxing, else Near Fine in a bright first issue DJ with a minuscule closed tear bottom of front panel and a small scratch to the front spine joint else fine; One Hundred Years of Solitude is Very Good with light wear to extremities, soiling to cloth, a contemporary former owner inscription written in Spanish and dated 1970 at the top of the half-title page, in a Very Good first issue dust jacket with the exclamation mark at the end of "Latin America" on the front flap, with some old tape-reside to the blindside, shallow edge wear and rubbing; the dust jacket of Evil Hour is price-clipped; faint staining to rear cloth of Love in the Time of Cholera though still Near fine. The Limited Editions Club (LEC) of One Hundred Years of Solitude is inscribed in English, "To Richard, from his Friend," and is signed and dated 1998; notable as Garcia Marquez rarely inscribed in English. Additionally, Mattie reportedly said that Garcia Marquez commented that this was the first time he signed this book. Fine in a Near Fine slipcase, with glassine wrapper toned, wrinkled, edge worn, with several pieces of tape and three small circular labels at one spine end. Signed.…
