“The object of this Year Book is to keep the gastronomic world informed on the epicurean events of the year, and to chronicle the progress of the art which should “satisfy the exquisite taste of Alcibiades, without wounding the proud austerity of Lycurgus.”
An interesting and very attractively produced little book that is packed full of all the information a gentleman would require to get through the coming year such as which date in January is best to eat larks; the date of racing at Goodwood, and; when in September to expect the arrival of widgeons and teal.
For those who didn’t already know “Lamb and Gooseberry Pie Day” is of course 11th April.

From the promotional leaflet:
“Printer’s Ink is a strikingly handsome typographical presentation that is a pleasure to browse; but it also serves notably as a comprehensive, detailed bibliographic reference for André Simon’s written works, including those few (10) outside the field of wine and gastronomy. Arranged chronologically by publication date, with an alphabetical title-listing for cross reference, almost all of the entries are illustrated with a color photograph. Foreword by John Danza. This special bibliographic remembrance will be an appreciated, valuable addition to the libraries of collectors, booksellers, and students the world over.
Claret cloth, lettered and decorated in gilt. Edition limited to 200 hand-numbered copies. 194pp, 10 x 7. ”
This is a fantastic guide to the works of the most prolific author of books about food and wine in the twentieth century and a true collector’s item in its own right.
