Seller's Description:
Good. First edition, first printing. Signed and inscribed by Sue Bailey Thurman and warmly inscribed to a former owner. Original publisher's stiff orange wraps printed in black, with black plastic comb binding. Good with soiling and wear to wraps, paint stains to front cover and plastic comb. One tooth is broken on the comb binding, and the wraps are detached edges at several teeth. Pages toned and with occasional creases. Instead of being arranged by course for the chef, recipes are instead arranged according to the calendar year, linking dishes with famous people and African American traditions, celebrating black culture, and foreshadowing the notion of "black pride" for up-and-coming authors. A project by the National Council of Negro Women whose mission was to "encourage and effect the participation of Negro women in civic, political and economic, and educational activities and institutions." The NCNW compiled the favorite recipes of members from seven regional councils. Signed copies are very scarce.
