Dealer Notes
This book celebrates an exhibition in the Fitzwilliam Museum in 1983 of cookery books, donated by the journalist, Pamela Lister. To commemorate the event, Pamela bound the exhibition catalogue in a splendid fine binding with an equally ornate slipcover. A piece of Cambridge history; an important handbook of cookery books; and a beautiful object of book art.
