[Sca-cooks] RE: Victoria //Fanny Farmer Editions

[johnna007h at netscape.net]

Greetings

Actually, one does not have to go to
the antiquarian market
In order to get a pre-Fannie Farmer
Boston School Cook Book.

Dover offers a reprint:

BOSTON COOKING SCHOOL COOK BOOK
By Mrs. D. A. Lincoln.

Subtitled: A Reprint of the 1883 Classic.
Only $12.95. 560 pages.


Dover also offers:

THE FANNIE MERRITT FARMER ORIGINAL 1896
BOSTON COOKING SCHOOL COOK BOOK

For only $14.95.


So, it  is relatively easy to obtain both
 from Dover if one wishes
to see the changes between
these two early American classics.


Sincerely,

Johnnae llyn Lewis

Good old Bartleby, home of the wild and free public domain!  Fanny
   Farmer's 1918
   edition is available online <www.bartleby.com/87/> which the Bartleby
   people chose
   because it was the most recent edition actually edited by Farmer.
    The
   reproduction 1896 [still ed. by Farmer] seem to be readily available
   from modern
   book dealers, and the 1884 pre-Farmer edition is still findable from
   antiquarian
   book dealers.
