Jacques Pepin's the Art of Cooking Vol. I

First edition stated of this classic cookbook. VG+ in a VG jacket. Book has small bump to top edge. Jacket has wear to top edge, particularly top rear, including a small tear to top rear. Book is wonderful internally, but there is a charming gift inscription pasted on the front endpaper--somebody's grandma talking about the way to the heart being through the stomach, and continuing with "I can get most anything out of grandpa if I cook him chicken fried steak and gravy or fried shrimp, and, of course, chocolate pie". Hardcover, First Edition. ISBN 039454658x. Alfred a Knopf, New York, 1987. 002858
