Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Poor. 1st ed.(??). 191, [1]p. Original flexible black cloth. 16 cm. Title on front cover is only faintly visible ("Menu Terms Gancel"). Lacks Front free endpaper and title-leaf. Original pastedowns chipped, as is rear free endpaper. Text leaves yellowed, with some soiling. "320" stamped on front pastedown -…- meaning unknown to us. Fragile; needs careful handling. There appear to be two printings with one issued in 1909 and the other in 1909. Ours seems to be the 1909 version with five blank memo pages near the end, some or all of which are replaced with advertisements in 1910. We can also see that the 1910 printing identifies Gancel's one-page introduction as Preface and the original text has been reset but is otherwise unchanged.

Contact seller5-star seller1st Edition. 183, [7 (Memoranda)], [2 (Index)], [1 (Errata)], [9] pp. Memoranda pages are blank. 8 pages of adverts conclude volume. Some adverts with cuts. 6" x 4-1/8" In the Preface, Gancel relates that he is the Chef of Hotel Belleclaire, New York and states therein his ".aim therefore in compiling this book has been to suppl…y Head-waiters and Waiters with immediate, accurate and sufficiently detailed information to enable them to quickly furnish a patron with a satisfactory description of any dish on the menu. Chefs furthermore will find the names of many dishes not to be found elsewhere, and the descriptions though brief, are sufficient for any good workman." List of chefs and their restaurants and locations at front; very brief ingredient lists for the thousands of food preparations. This is a huge compendium of terms, recipes, styles of presentation and methods of preparation, along with optimum buying times for ingredients 'in season' and wage information. And an invaluable resource for those researching food & retaurant history, as it provides definitions for items used & served over a century ago. The title uncommon in the trade, with, at the time of cataloguing, OCLC recording just 3 holding institutions [Toronto Public, Cornell & Michigan]. Average wear to covers, age-toning to paper. Front hinge starting. Still, a VG copy of this uncommon work. Original publisher's pebbled black flexible leatherette binding, gilt stamping to front cover, which has rounded tips.
