[Sca-cooks] Lucayos Cook Book was Cherries, cherries and more cherries

[Johnna Holloway]

Sorry but I have step in and play stuffy librarian here.
The Lucayos Cook Book was never published in the 1660's.
It was a "family" manuscript.
The manuscript is described on the cover of the 1959 soft cover pamphlet as

"Being an Original Manuscript, 300 years old, never published.
Found in the Bahamas. Kept for 30 years to Test-Refine from AD
1660 to 1690 by a Noble Family of Elizabethan England. Long lost
to Epicureans and the World."

The first edition was published in 1959. That's the only edition
that I know of.  I am lucky enough
to have one that includes all the assorted descriptive materials from 
the original
printing which indicate that it sold for three dollars along with an 
appendix.
