[Rarebooks] FS: Andre Simon- Bibliotheca Gastronomica

[Joslin Hall Books & Ephemera]

Bibliotheca Gastronomica. A Catalogue of Books and Documents on Gastronomy

By Andre L. Simon. Published by The Wine and Food Society in 1953.  
Edition limited to 750 numbered copies.

“The production, taxation, distribution, and consumption of food and  
drink; their use and abuse in all times and among all peoples”. Not a  
bibliography in the strictest sense, but rather  a catalogue of Mr.  
Simon’s own extensive library of more than 1,600 items. “Andre Simon  
(1877–1970) was a French-born wine merchant, gourmet, and prolific  
writer about wine. Hugh Johnson describes him as ‘the charismatic  
leader of the English wine trade for almost all of the first half of  
the 20th century, and the grand old man of literate connoisseurship  
for a further 20 years’."

Hardcover. 7.5x10, 196 pages, black & white illustrations, dust  
jacket. Jacket with soil, wear, a few rips and a hole. Book with minor  
soil, light wear.  $100
