The Chinese Cook Book: Covering the Entire Field of Chinese Cookery in the Chinese order of Serving, from Nuts to Soup. [Cookbook]

Reading, Philadelphia: Culinary Arts Press, 1936. Paperback. Very Good/Very Good. Stapled card covers under illustrated dust jacket, priced at 15-cents. An excellent copy with one exception: the previous owner has stapled the edges of the flap of the dust jacket to the rear cover, making a pocket for (presumably) recipes to be laid in, although none are. There are remnants of paper under the staples on the rear panel of the DJ but whatever was attached is not any longer. 48 pp., last page is ad for La Choy chop suey. Early & perhaps first edition of this popular book which went through many printings.
