Nuevo Cocinero Mexicano en Forma de Diccionario
Paris: Rosa y Bouret 1872. Later Edition. Hardcover Quarter Leather. Fair Condition. Orignal black cloth worn at edges corners rounded front joint reinforced with cloth tape and rear weak evidence of having been reglued at some point wear to page edges one page encapsulated in japanese paper at some point a bit shaken overall with some loose signatures but still a complete and usable example of this cookbook originally published in 1845. Not in Cagle Bitting Vicaire etc. 966pp arranged alphabetically with 6 place setting and carving plates at the rear.<br/><br/>Nuevo Cocinero serves as a sort of counterpoint to the Nationalistic aspirations of El Cocinero Mexicano 1831. Earlier editions castigated readers for serving tamales poor people's food and though later editions removed this exhortation it remained an upper-class French cookbook going so far as to invoke Careme and Beauvilliers on the title page written in the shape of a wine glass. But for all that the author heaps praise on pit cooking barbacoa style. Size: 8vo. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: Cooking Wine & Dining; Inventory No: CAT000061.

Theatre Today the first 9 issues
New York: AIDART Advanced Institute for Development of American Repertory Theatre. Near Fine. 1968-1970. Vol. 1 No. 1 - Vol. 3 No. 3. Stapled wraps. all issues in uniformly nice condition with just a touch of wear along the spines of a few and a single inked note on the rear cover of one; six of the nine have the original subscriber's address label affixed to the rear cover. B&W photographs The first nine issues of this very content-rich quarterly newsletter devoted to the repertory theatre scene in mostly America. All issues are either 16 or 20 pages in length and feature primarily stories often with interviews about notable individuals or theatre companies as well as about the general state of repertory theatre. Although the focus isn't usually on individual plays the first issue does contain a great feature on "Creating 'The Great White Hope'" including comments by playwright Howard Sackler director Edwin Sherin and other members of the production team. Articles and features in other issues include: "Robert Macbeth and The New Lafayette Theatre"; "Robert Hooks and The Negro Ensemble Company"; "William Ball and ACT"; a profile of The Minnesota Theatre Company co-founded by Tyrone Guthrie; "Theatre of Revolution"; "Confessions of a Playwright" by William Murray; interviews with Joseph Papp and Gordon Davidson; "The ANTA Theatre: A Home in New York" a conversation with Jean Dalrymple and Alfred deLiagre; an article on the Nationaltheatre in Mannheim Germany; "Margo Jones: Legacy and Legend" by J. Wesley Zeigler. The editor of the first five issues was Leota Diesel; for the remainder J. Wesley Zeigler. The newsletter ceased publication after Vol. 4 No. 3 so this set lacks only the final four issues. These provide an interesting snapshot of a period in which the federal government had only recently begun to pay some serious attention to arts funding the National Endowment for the Arts had been established by Congress in 1965 and theatre companies were always scrambling to stay afloat and claim their piece of a never-big-enough pie; several articles in these issues discuss financial tax and other "survival" issues. Thus it ever was. . AIDART (Advanced Institute for Development of American Repertory Theatre) paperback books
