First edition. Octavo. pp. (6), 7-239, (1). Original publisher's decorative cloth, lettered in blue to the spine, in the striking unclipped dust wrapper designed by Edward Bawden. A very good or better copy, the jacket with a couple of tiny closed tears to the edges and slight browning to the spine, otherwise an attractive, well-preserved example.
 
A companion volume to Ambrose Heath's highly successful Good Food series, offering recipes for cocktails, cups, punches, hot drinks, liqueurs and non-alcoholic beverages, together with practical advice on the serving and appreciation of wine. The distinctive dust wrapper and title page are by Edward Bawden. Copies retaining the illustrated dust wrapper are rare.
