Cloth, 8vo. Inscribed 1st ED. 364pp + ads. Decorated brown boards. Inscribed, signed and dated (1922) on FFEP. "From 1915 to 1922, Spencer held the distinguished title of Fish Cookery Expert at the USBF (later renamed the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service), where she led the charge in persuading the public to eat seafood—so prolifically that she eventually became known as the Fish Evangelist. Spencer was a “celebrity chef” before there was such a thing, says April Gregory, curator of collections and exhibitions at the National Fish & Aquatic Conservation Archives in South Dakota. “She was famous with American housewives,” who came to know Spencer through her posters, live cooking demonstrations, and, later, her seminal (and breathlessly-titled) cookbook, Fish Cookery: six hundred recipes for the preparation of fish, shellfish and other aquatic animals, including fish soups, salads and entrees, with accompanying sauces, seasonings, dressings and forcemeats" .A lovely copy. Scarce. wall.

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
