[Signed] [First Edition] Mastering the Art of French Cooking (signed by illustrator Sidonie Coryn + signed letter) Child, Julia & Simon Beck & 2010.18 CAD Alfred A. Knopf. New York. 1961. 684 pages + index. First edition, second printing stated, November 1961; only a couple of weeks after the first printing on October 16, 1961. A most rare and uncommon signed copy by the book's artist and illustrator, Sidonie Coryn. Sidonie Coryn signed her name underneath "Illustrations by Sidonie Coryn" printed on the page opposite the title page. Additionally, laid-in is a handwritten, signed letter from Sidonie Coryn on her personal stationary to a friend: Dear ___, / I really didn't forget -/Just a bit of inefficiency on my/ part- The book sold so fast / I couldn't keep up with it- / My best regards for a / Merry Christmas and a / Joyous New Year / to you and your wife- / Sidonie Coryn. Book is tight, bright and clean. Binding and hinges are strong and sound. Minor toning along panel edges. Turquoise endpapers are clean yet front endpaper is age-toned from laid-in paper. Slight darkening to backstrip. Original first issue DJ with Julia Child's name third in the pecking order on front; just above Sidonie Coryn's name. $10.00 price intact on flap. DJ shows open chip on upper right corner, chipping along rear flap fold, and spine of DJ is absent. A solid VG copy of the classic in a poor DJ; signed by the artist of the book's classic illustrations, in addition to a handwritten letter by the artist, commenting on how quickly the book took off. The rest of course is history as this book launched Julia Child's career and celebrity. Worth noting is this book is lauded for its helpful illustrations (Coryn's) and precise attention to detail, and for making fine cuisine accessible. Sixty plus years later, the book is still in print and is considered a seminal culinary masterwork. A much rarer offering than a signed Julia Child copy.

Very good original single volume edition in same wrapper. "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" is for both seasoned cooks and beginners who love good food & long to reproduce at home the savory delights of the classic cuisine, from the historic Gallic masterpieces to the seemingly artless perfection of a dish of spring-green peas. This beautiful book, with over 100 instructive illustrations, is revolutionary in its approach because: It leads the cook infallibly from the buying and handling of raw ingredients, through each essential step of a recipe, to the final creation of a delicate confection. It breaks down the classic cuisine into a logical sequence of themes and variations rather than presenting an endless and diffuse catalogue of recipes; the focus is on key recipes that form the backbone of French cookery and lend themselves to an infinite number of elaborations bound to increase anyone's culinary repertoire. 684 pages plus 32 page index.

[Signed] [First Edition] The Child Who Never Grew Pearl S. Buck [Used - Very good] [Hardcover]

[Signed] [First Edition] The Child Who Never Grew Pearl S. Buck [Used - Very good] [Hardcover] 133.18 CAD PEARL S. BUCK THE CHILD WHO NEVER GREW 1950 3RD PRINTING HARD COVER SIGNED CARD TIPPED IN. I was well aware of Pearl S. Buck and her life as a prolific writer and also of her commitment and activism on behalf of many progressive causes. I did not know, however, that she had a special needs child at a time when there were not the means or programs there are today to cope with these situations. This is her story and that of her child. The book is titled: The Child Who Never Grew, by Pearl S. Buck. This small hard cover book (5 ¼ x 7 ½ inches, 64 pages) was published by John Day Company of New York, dated 1950 and the Third Impression (so stated). This book is bound in sky blue boards with silver gilt titles on the cover. There is a tipped-in paper with Ms. Buck s inked signature on the front endpaper. The book and all that it would yield was assigned by her to the Training School at Vineland, N.J. where her daughter was eventually interned. Condition: This book is in very good condition. The hard covers are clean, bright and unbumped and the silver gilt titles are still handsome and attractive. There was a small tear to the top of the front gutter which has apparently been fixed- the only real blemish. Inside, the book is unmarked except for the card with the Author s signature and the interior pages are bright and clean throughout without age-toning or foxing. Both hinges are intact, and the binding is tight and sound. This book is not ex-library or a remainder.
