First Edition. NY: Viking, 1946.
Mary Frances Kennedy Fisher established herself as the foremost food writer of her day, writing with a mix of wit and nostalgia that always hit a chord. She was adored by the press and public alike; in fact, her author photo on her first book, The Gastronomical Me, was deemed too sexy, and had to be swapped out for a more conservative pose.
Chipping to jacket spine ends, price clipped; inscription dated 1946 to front free endpaper, chipping to edges of lower fore-edges of a few middle pages, else very good and bright.
