First edition (per Cape & Smith "First published" statement upon copyright page) DATED AND SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. xvi, 289 pages. Hardcover: H 19.5cm x L 13cm. No dust jacket (i.e. lacking). Red cloth but obtrusive staining/fading to front board and spine; patches of surface abrasion to spine cloth with ends chipped; glue repair to slender tearing to surface cloth along front joint; board corners worn. Black top edge; toning to fore-edge and bottom edge. Author's three-line ink inscription "Cordially yours | Blanche S. Rhett | Sept 13/30" upon front free endpaper; varying moisture stains at fore-edge margins of early and late leaves but diminishing inward. Glue repair to slight splitting at upper rear hinge; binding is otherwise firm. A good copy. Features traditional South Carolina recipes gathered by Blanche S. Rhett with an Introduction and explanatory matter along with anecdotes regarding Charleston, South Carolina's social life and culture by Helen Woodward and all edited by Lettie Gay. Sections titled: "Soups and Canapes;" "Shellfish and Fish;" "Pilaus, Egg Dishes and Other Main Dishes;" "Poultry and Dressings;" "Stuffings;" "Meats;" "Sweet Potatoes, Rice and Green Vegetables;" "Salads and Relishes;" "Breads;" "Cakes and Candies;" "Desserts." and "Plantation Drinks." The partnership of Jonathan Cape and Harrison Smith, aka Cape Smith, published a similarly titled regional cookbook 200 YEARS OF NEW ORLEANS COOKING by Natalie Scott and William Spratling in 1931. Whether Cape-Smith and successor Smith-Hass intended to release a "200 Years of . . ." series is unknown but, if so, it never went further than the Charleston and New Orleans editions. Book now presented in a trimmed clear Dura-Lar (polyester film) sheet forming a dj which modestly enhances shelf appearance. {Gastronomy-Shelf#2|JHJ-014}.…
