By [Norfolk House Centre (Roxbury, Mass.)]

Roxbury, Mass: Norfolk House Centre, 1922. Octavo-sized booklet, stapled in wrappers ( x cm.), 23 pages. FIRST EDITION. A slim fundraising cookbook, published to benefit the Norfolk House Centre, a private school outside of Boston. Recipes include a "Ham Mousse", "Nut Wafers" and "Veronique Soup". A bit of age-toning and edge-chipping to the somewhat brittle wrappers; wrappers separated from text block at the staples. Good plus. Scarce. [OCLC locates two copies (Schlesinger & the Vehling Collection at Cornell)].
