William Morrow & Co. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1981. First Edition. Hardcover. First printing. 309 pp. Index. A clean, tight copy without markings. Light edge tone. The dust jacket is not price clipped but is worn along the edges. This is an intriguing more-than-a-cookbook, cookbook. Divided into 4 parts, Part 1 is dedicated to Food Politics.
