The Physiology of Taste: Or, Meditations on Transcendental Gastronomy
by Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
Hardcover
Book Condition: Very Good
Jacket Condition: No dust jacket
Note: This Limited Editions Club book features annotations and an entirely new translation by M.F.K. Fisher, as well as illustrations by Sylvain Sauvage. The printed slipcase is in Very Good condition with some bumping and age related staining, especially on the spine. The book itself is in Very Good condition with its quarter pigskin leather and printed boards binding showing minor wear and has bright, clean, tightly bound pages. This particular edition was limited to fifteen hundred copies of which this is number 92. It was printed by R.L. Dotard at the shop of E.L. Hildreth and Company in Brattleboro. The illustrator died before the book was issued, so they were printed from line-plates cut in rubber by Herbert Rau. A lovely copy of a very interesting book.
