Lettered by Carmen Tagle. Illus. by Huberman. 12x9", pictorial wrappers. First Edition. NY: St. Martin's Press, 1980.
An early work by Adam Gopnik, who has gone on to write numerous books about France and its food. This is a humorous look back at the life of France's great innovator and pastry chef, Anton Careme. Rubbing to extremities, softening to corners, otherwise about very good - a scarce survival.
