Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. First edition. 8vo. Original cloth. Very good copy in very good dust jacket. Publisher's file copy. Laid in are two small original photographs of Henri Charpentier in chef's toque, taken during the time he operated a restaurant on Long Island, annotated on versos. In one he is part of a group posed on a Stutz Bearcat automobile, the quintessential symbol of the era's "fast crowd." Also laid in is a newspaper advertisement for the book. Accompanied by the installments (lacking one installment) of the magazine appearance in the Saturday Evening Post in the same year. Charpentier rode the perhaps fabulous story of his invention of crepes Suzette to international fame. This book appeared at the high point of his career, before business reverses caught up with him. His Radio City restaurant was evicted in 1935 and the Long Island location that made him famous closed its doors in 1938. Priority Mail only on foreign orders.
