Item description from seller

Number 806 of 850 copies printed at the Kynoch Press on wove paper. Duncan Grant's illustrations printed from line blocks. Peacock blue buckram with bevelled sides, spine lettered in gilt, edges uncut. Lacks printed dust-jacket. A very good copy indeed. The Receipt Book of Elizabeth Raper was announced in the 1924 Prospectus: 'Elizabeth Raper tells in this book not only how she cooked in a remarkably varied, rich, delicate and largely lost fashion, but also how she philandered, learned Euclid and papered the stairs.' (Dreyfus 18).
