Description: Nela Rubinstein, wife of pianist Arthur Rubenstein, had been begged by her friends to put her magic recipes in a book. Finally, she agreed and this is the result. It's a combination of old-world Polish -- touched by French, Spanish, California influences. The interior of the book looks untouched. There is a tear on the back of the paper jacket. I didn't try to repair it. But it looks like an easy repair. That would be up to you. Rare is Nela's autograph to someone named Andrea. What Andrea was a friend of the Rubensteins in '80s? Your guess. First edition, first printing. With numerous charming line drawing illustrations throughout. The editor on this book was the great Judith Jones and clearly it was done carefully and produced beautifully. Published by Knopf, Nela says in the introduction that Blanch Knopf had written up a contract for such a book 37 years before this was completed. That's how beloved Nina's kitchen magic was.
