A propos de cet article

Signed and inscribed on the half-title page ( 'Bon Appétit to Sadie, Julia Child' ). Stated 'Second printing May 1968.' The first printing was published a month earlier. Signed copies of her second book are fairly rare. I have held onto this one for a long time. You can see the decorated covers in the photos. They are exceptionally clean. There is not very much wear, a thin superficial scratch off the front bottom edge, a little bit of crinkling at both spine ends with a few small spots of rubbing, a pinprick-sized nick off the bottom edge of the rear cover, very small spots of superficial rubbing at the corners. The cover edges look very good, one tiny nick at the rear top one. The top page edge has a gray topstain, no soiling. The middle and bottom page edges look good, no conspicuous stains. The book is square and the spine is straight. The binding is solid. If you pull at the front cover from the side it has the tiniest bit of give, stress on 'tiniest'. The juncture between the front inside cover and front end paper looks fine, no cracks or spaces. That appears to be the case with all the pages. I didn't find any cracks or spaces between any of them. The rear cover is very solidly bound. The blue inside covers and end papers look very good. The pages are in nice condition. They are pretty bright, not toned. In the main, they are quite clean. In fact, there may not be any soiling. There is some occasional light, amber spotting. There is one such small spot near to the bottom edge of the signed half-title page (see photo), also the same on its verso side. I counted eight consecutive pages later the book with one or a few amber spots off their bottom edge, same thing with three other consecutive pages. I went through the pages pretty carefully but I would imagine I missed a few other such fairly inconspicuous spots. The great majority of pages, therefore, are perfectly clean, free of any spotting/foxing. There are sixteen pages of photographs. They are perfectly clean and free of any spotting. I didn't see any placeholder creases. The bottom corners of five consecutive pages got folded in (not too far above the tips and obviously far from the print). I had flattened them out, but there are still small creases there. There are no markings in the book. There are no attachments of any kind. And Ms. Child's signed inscription represents the only writing to be found anywhere. The dust jacket appears to be from the first printing. 4/68 is printed off the bottom edge of its front flap. You can see the jacket in the photos. I have always had it in a fitted protective cover. There doesn't appear to be any staining, pretty good for white covers. There are several edge tears, along with a crease off the rear top edge. There is a tiny bit of loss at the juncture of the top edge of the spine and rear cover. Three of the four corners of the middle edges have the not atypical tiny losses. The white flaps are also exceptionally clean, no soiling. The front flap does have a thin vertical crease coming down from its top corner to the middle of its bottom edge. The rear flap has a shorter one, also a thin, that crosses from its inside edge to its bottom edge. The jacket is NOT price-clipped ($6.95), not clipped at all. From the dust jacket: 'As any Julia Child fan-- and who isn't-- knows, the recipes are worked out to perfection and the selection is designed to introduce Americans to a wide range of French cooking.'.…

Description de la boutique

Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
