(Chinese) Corbett, Scott. Sauce for the Gander.

$75.00

Illus. by Don Freeman. Jacket. First Edition. NY: Thomas Crowell, 1951.

An amazing story of a white guy who decided to go into business with a Chinese restaurateur and mass produce & mass market his favorite Chinese sauce, which he dubbed "Sea Sauce", made from black beans, garlic and ginger. Fascinating! Perhaps the inception story of soy sauce. Chipping to jacket spine head area and corners, else very good and bright; increasingly scarce.
