Description: This rare book is a must-have for any collector or enthusiast of vintage food literature. Titled "The Grocers' Hand-Book and Directory for 1883" and authored by Artemas Ward, this hardcover book was originally printed in Philadelphia by The Philadelphia Grocer Publishing Co. The book is beautifully illustrated and written in English, making it a great addition to any bookshelf. It contains special attributes that make it a unique find, such as being an original printing from 1883 and not a facsimile. This antique book belongs in the Antiquarian & Collectible category and is a valuable addition to any book collection. This book is a treasure, all pages are accounted for and is has been used for many years to assist with meal preparation as there are some grease stains, and also pieces of onion skins and other food items on some of the pages. There are about 10 pages that have small tears from turning too fast, some foxing and discoloration and writing on two pages. All images that were original are present. There are some images in the back surrounding tea making and other food preparations that show its age. The binding is pulling away in parts and the outside of the book has heavy wear. Please see all of the images and ask any questions. I will ship FAST from a smoke-free home.
