Consider The Oyster
New York: Duell, Sloan and Pearce, 1941. First Edition. Hardcover. 116 pages. 22 x 14 cm. A classic from the first lady of food writing. Fisher wrote this book to comfort her second husband, Dillwyn Parrish, the love of her life, while he was facing a rare autoimmune disease which ultimately drove him to suicide. This book regales the reader with recipes, reminiscence, and humor, all at the expense of the lowly, lovely mollusk. Boards and paper lightly toned. Gray boards, white illustrative design. Very good.
