$25 · Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management
MEET UP MORNINGS NEAR FORT AND COOK First published in 1861 A Specially Enlarged First Edition Facsimile, Over 1350 recipes. Very good condition. The cover had a few minor tears and has been repaired with clear tape. The back flap of the cover in the photo has some black mark, I think maybe it is ink from the printing of the book. The book itself is in new condition, it wasn’t used so there’s no marks of any sort and pages all firm and not bent at all. I tried to find this one on the famous auction site, they differ in value according to the reprint year. No luck finding a 1984 printing so maybe it’s “worth” more. They are listed anywhere up to about $300 with the shipping. It’s a wonderful look at early cookery history by a renowned expert at the time. Weighs 3 lbs. 1112 pages. 8.5 x 6.25 x 2.5” thick This is the 1984 printing. Here’s an interesting Wikipedia on her book. There are many Iistings on the auction sites https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mrs._Beeton%27s_Book_of_Household_Management This is some text I copied from a listing on the auction site, “There are coloured facsimiles on front and rear endpapers. The best reproduction of the original edition of 1861, the Chancellor Press facsimile (first published in 1982) is specially enlarged, retaining the original and evocative woodcuts and omitting only the (largely decorative) coloured plates. The original frontispiece and illustrated title are reproduced in colour as endpapers. Arguably the most famous of cookery writers, Mrs Beeton first published her well-known work as monthly supplements in 'The English Women's Domestic Magazine' before its first publication in book form, after which it rapidly became the essential guide to the management of the Victorian home. One of the work's more notable features is its presentation of recipes with clear and precise instructions and all ingredients listed at the head, a style which appears here for the first time and which has remained the industry standard ever since. NOW SCARCE IN ITS OWN RIGHT IN THIS CONDITION.”
