Octavo, comb- bound as issued, original pictorial paper wrappers. $300. Click for more info First comb-bound edition of this classic Southern cookbook, with an introductory poem by humorist Ogden Nash. While Harriett Ross Colquitt displays the prejudice of many mid-century white cookbook authors who both “praised and ridiculed African Americans, these authors inadvertently introduced us to black cooks who understood the nuances of regional cooking” (Hughes, Best FoodWriting 2016 ). Preceded by the same year’s cloth first edition. Owner signature. Marginalia noting “Easter 1965” to one recipe (68-9). Interior fresh with occasional faint paper clip traces; mild soiling to wrappers. A near-fine copy.
