The most complete edition of the most famous French gastronomic novel; the first edition, published in 1920, was abridged due to a paper shortage. It is dedicated to Brillat-Savarin, Gabion, Guy de Pourtalès, and, of course, Curnonsky, who co-authored the *La France gastronomique* collection with Marcel Rouff. One of 54 copies printed on Arches laid paper, and among these, one of the four non-commercial copies (No. A). A beautiful copy, in a sturdy full morocco binding.
