We're helping my mother downsize in the twilight of her life and this book was among the basement cast offs. I'm blown away by how beautiful the plates are and thought some of you in this subreddit would appreciate a few photos. Found in eastern MA.
I need help looking for a specific edition of a copy of Eugene Pauli classical cooking the modern way. Specifically the 1976 8th edition Luhr Buch Der Küch, or Pauli textbook of cooking.
This is for my dad who is Swiss and was trained on this book as a young man.
I have never looked for a book this old and don’t even know if it qualifies for a “rare” book, but anything would help either websites I might be able to visit to further my knowledge or listings of copies for sale.
I fear I may be out of my depth any information would be highly appreciated.
Pulled this out of an estate library I'm working through. It's Menavino's account of the Ottoman Turks, printed in Frankfurt in 1577.
The fun part: Menavino was a Genoese who got captured and spent years inside the Sultan's court, then wrote one of the first European tell-alls about Ottoman government, military, and daily life. Illustrated with woodcuts by Jost Amman and Virgil Solis, three books in one volume.
