The book concludes with advice for recovering from an evening of martinis and "Mother India's Sizzling Tuna Bake": "Do not go to work. / Do not watch televsion. / Bathe a lot. / Do not pay bills. / Do not go near children" (the first of five commandments). The gift inscription, incidentally, reads: For Tina and Les. / There may be weekends / when this will / help. / Affectionately /Herbert. Herbert sounds like a prescient soul.

First separate edition. Keepsake - issued as a Christmas greeting by Coopers & Beatty, 1/2,000 copies. Originally cited by Bruccoli as an "A" item and later, in a revised edition of his bibliography, cited as a "D" item. Pamphlet - 5-5/16 x 8-1/4", [i-vi], 1-[8]pp; pale red wrappers with turkey (in black) encircled by vine-motif (in gray); with stiff protective white cover printed in black, dark green and lime green. Protective white cover a little creased toward head of fold. Near fine. Fitzgerald's receipt for "Turkey with Whiskey Sauce": Obtain a gallon of whiskey, and allow it to age for several hours. Then serve, allowing one quart for each guest. The next day the turkey should be added, little by little, "constantly stirring and basting". What the volume lacks in culinary wisdom is compensated by the lovely zaniness of it all. Bruccoli A21 (First edition, only printing) [1980]. Bruccoli D1 (see also A 20 and A 38) [1987].

First edition. Pamphlet: 9 x 6", 32pp; stiff gray wrappers (stapled) printed in deep red. Printed on glossy paper with 9 full-page color illustrations plus illustrations of McCormick products and halftone photographs of spice production. Title page printed in black and red. Pencil ownership signature of Sadie R. Guseman at the upper right corner, front cover. Minor age-toning at spine and edges. Very good. Sadie R. Guseman produced at least two pieces on cookery, "Canning Tomatoes: Girl's Club Canning Instruction Circular" and "Preserving Relishes and Pickles". At the title page: "SPICES THEIR NATURE AND GROWTH / THE VANILLA-BEAN / A TALK ON TEA". The text describes "Pepper and Capsicums", "Cassia and Cinnamon", Nutmegs and Mace", "Ginger", "Pimento, or Allspice", "Cloves", "Seed, Herbs, Etc.", "Vanilla Bean", "Tea" as well as "Flavoring Extracts". The text concludes with "The Bee Brand Manual of Cookery". The section on the vanilla bean, for instance, includes a handsome full page color illustration which depicts the vanilla bean, the green bean ("2/3 natural size") and the bean's aerial root. A half tone photograph shows "One of the Extract Stills". The text begins by describing the vine which produces the bean: "This climbing perennial belongs to the Orchid family and is indigenous to Central and South America, but reaches its perfection of flavor in Mexico". It notes the Tonka bean which imitation vanilla extract relies on: "A hundred years ago these beans were found in the snuffbox of every gentleman and in the handkerchief case of every lady". That is to say, the text offers information which is likely to surprise as well as inform the reader. The cookery manual offers four pages of recipes, including fish salad, "American Beauty Salad", cream of green pepper soup and mackerel souffle. A very attractively printed period piece.

Second edition. Cagle suggests the second edition appeared in 1829, while pointing out the preface is dated January 15, 1828. OCLC records accord both 1828 and 1829 as publication dates. 12mo, [vii], [7]-100pp; tan cloth over boards; buff label on spine with title only. Largish mild dampstain to upper fore-corner of latter half of text; pages age-toned. Wear around spine with only a vestige of the label present ("EVENTY-FI") and some loss of cloth at join to rear cover. About very good.. Miss Eliza Leslie (1787-1858) was born in Philadelphia and lived there most of her life. There also she attended America's first cooking school run by Mrs. Elizabeth Goodfellow; Leslie became its most famous and influential graduate, an "outspoken advocate in support of using pure foods, and in the development of an essentially American cuisine". (DuSablon, AMERICA&#x92;S COLLECTIBLE COOKBOOKS). SEVENTY-FIVE RECEIPTS, reportedly culled from recipes Leslie acquired at Miss Goodfellow's, was the first cooking book published in the United States to list ingredients above the recipe. [Cookery authorities do not know if another book preceded RECEIPTS with the recipes so laid out; they are being conservative with the limitation "in the United States". ] This simple, effective format eventually became standard. Leslie also saw the need for a cookbook to be accessible for all levels of cooks; her recipes are models of clarity. At a time when a recipe consisted of its ingredients and a terse direction to 'boil for two hours' or 'bake for three hours', Leslie's detailed instructions were the exception, and the reason her recipes had such appeal then and now. Anyone with the book in hand could do them. Then too, RECEIPTS emphasized local foods: pumpkin, oyster, sweet potato, cranberries, crab apples, etc.; Leslie declares "the receipts in this little book are, in every sense of the word, American". They are not only American, they are also tempting, from the fruit pies to the Lafayette gingerbread to the meringue kisses. The little volume found an eager audience; Bitting notes twenty editions. Leslie wrote many more books: children's books, books on domestic economy, etiquette, and verse. Her cookery books enjoyed the greatest popularity though with twenty, thirty, fifty, or more printings. She was America's first great cook and her public knew it. Cagle 471. Lowenstein, BIBLIOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN COOKERY BOOKS 1742-1860, 113. See also, Bitting, p. 284. OCLC, which has three different entries for the second edition, cites 12 institutional holdings.

Only edition. 4to, vii, <200>pp; including endmatter; gray endpapers; red wove cloth with blue oval framing title in gold (front and spine). Printed in black with red highlights. Illustrated with halftone portraits of Republican political figures. Touch of wear to tips and ends. Near fine. The Preface states: "This cookbook is for Republicans. In it you will find recipes for an infinite variety of dishes...all reflecting the traditions and ancestry of the people of each state in our wonderful nation". Accompanying recipes are brief biographies of a number of Republican notables: "You will be gratified to perceive that Republican leaders are family-type people like you and me....who are today shaping the destiny of the United States". The cookbook begins with President Richard Nixon and Vice President Spiro Agnew and follows with a leading Republican, with photograph (very often with family), and recipes, representing each state and the District of Columbia. Dinner menus are offered as well. Regional recipes are emphasized: "Alabama quail"; "Baked Salmon" (Alaska); "Mint julep" with a Derby breakfast menu from Louie B. Nunn, governor of Kentucky; "Crab cakes" and "Carne adobada" (New Mexico). Casseroles make frequent appearances. Also printed are "Republican Members of the Ninety-first Congress" and additionally a brief list of other Republican cookbooks. A rare instance when culinary and political text are interwoven (and equally represented). OCLC records 14 locations.
