[16], 191pp, gilt still bright, binding and hinges tight, illustrated throughout with b/w photographs, also includes recipes from the kitchen of "21" in the back. The dust jacket shows light edge wear, with one closed tear, is NOT price-clipped, and is now housed in a protective mylar cover. The book shows foxing to the outer top page edges.
