Published by Alfred A. Knopf, New York, 1970. First edition of the second volume of this landmark culinary work, illustrated by Sidonie Coryn, based on photographs and technical drawings by Paul Child. A particularly appealing copy, signed by Julia Child, whose influence helped shape American home cooking for generations. Enhancing its charm is a handwritten, taped-in recipe for chicken and dumplings from a previous owner on the front endpaper. Its an authentic, lived-in touch that reflects the spirit in which this book was meant to be used and enjoyed. Very Good, near fine condition (Book) and Good condition (Dust Jacket). The book itself remains in very good condition, with a tight, square binding and clean, well-preserved interior pages. Aside from the authors signature and the added handwritten recipe, the text is free from markings, writing, or highlighting. Illustrations throughout are crisp and clear. There are a few light stains to the front endpapers consistent with kitchen use, adding character without affecting readability. The original dust jacket is present and in good condition, showing general wear but remaining intact and protective. BR Shelf 156 A warm and character-rich signed copy of a cornerstone of twentieth-century culinary literature—part collectible, part working kitchen companion, and wholly evocative of Julia Child’s enduring legacy.…
