First edition. Octavo. 189pp. Illustrated. Tiny name stamp and light label remnant, both on front fly, endpapers foxed, very good in good or better dust jacket with moderate chipping and an exterior tape repair at the base of the spine and rear panel. The first book by the Dean of American Cooks, devoted almost entirely to cocktail party finger food. In 1937 Beard moved to New York and started a catering company exclusively devoted to hors d'oeuvres. In 1940 he published this book based upon his experience, which led to further success in the culinary world based on his insistence on using fresh and local ingredients. Today, the most prestigious American cooking awards are named the James Beard Awards.
