Thick octavo (896 pp). Hardcover, bound in publisher's original quarter dark blue cloth over lighter blue cloth boards. No dust jacket. A firm, structurally sound copy of this quintessential British culinary reference. Cloth boards exhibit moderate shelf wear, light rubbing to extremities, and typical minor age-marking. Hinges and binding remain completely tight and secure; gilt spine lettering remains bright. Clean text and ads throughout, complete with all original text illustrations and full-page color plates. Features a neat institutional prize bookplate affixed to the front free endpaper dated July 1930, firmly placing this as a 1920s printing. A very good, complete collector's copy.
