Description: Fay Burg's Lake Kezar Cookbook with a Gallery of Paintings by Edna Hibel. JAR Publishers first edition first printing, June 1981. Hardcover with dust jacket and silk ribbon bookmark. 302 pages of recipes accompanied by 33 of Hibel's exquisite paintings (in full color). Inscribed and signed by Fay Burg on the first free endpaper. We note that while copies signed by the illustrator are not hard to find, it appears that copies signed by the author are much more scarce. From the dust jacket: "If, as Brillat-Savarin wrote, 'Cooking is the most ancient of all arts for Adam was born hungry', then it is fitting that Fay Burg's Lake Kezar Cookbook should feature the best in contemporary fine arts, as well as in the fine art of cooking...Fay Burg, recognizing that man does not live by brioche (p. 183) alone, has enlisted the aid of her long-time friend, artist Edna Hibel, to make her Lake Kezar Cookbook a feast for the eyes as well as for the palate - a delight for the art lover, as well as for the gourmet, in all of us." The book itself is like new; if it has any flaws we could not find them. The dust jacket is good+ with no major flaws. Some creases at top and bottom edges; tiny chip on bottom edge near flap fold; some wear on flap folds; some wear, a bit of fraying and a small tear where top of spine meets front of jacket. Overall, a handsome copy of an author-signed first printing.
