Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
First Edition. Octavo, 7.75 x 5.5", original black cloth, original red paper cover label. An all-encompassing Cuban cookbook that includes a section of alcoholic drinks. At the time of publication, Cuban cuisine was a novel cuisine to many, evidenced by an introduction that summarizes various aspects of Cuban cooking. Among the recipes for alcoholic drinks, is what is apparently the first printing in book form of a Cuban mojitohere titled a "Rum Cocktail (Cuban mojo)" Author Blanche Zacharie de Baralt, a widely respected diplomat and historian, was the first woman to receive a doctorate from the University of Havana. The first printing of this title is scarce in trade, and the book is often found as the later 1940's reprint. One in OCLC for this 1931 first edition, with 24 additional copies for a 1946 reprint. This copy with damp staining most prominently seen in the first few pages, most heavily on title page, then later on more faint on the fore-edges, pages toned, front hinge is cracked and showing webbing, gift inscription to front endpaper, touch of rubbing to corners, light sailing to cloth, spine with splitting and fraying to cloth along edges, binding loose with few pages detached, a good copy.
