Description: John Gould, Maine's legendary comic artist, humorist, journalist, and essayist, has inscribed this first edition hardcover, wherein he details the whole lot of good that good food can bring. Granted, this book was written over half a century ago, but because of its emphasis on what some may call "soul food," it may be more important now than ever. Plus, it is not some heady essay or expose into the underbelly of food and from whence it came, but a more homelier dedication and reminder to the reader just why Mom's cooking is always best. Light and funny, and filled with the author's own illustrations, this is a great gift for the midwestern dad or for those looking for a piece of home. The book shows some of its age, with some foxing marks on the page edge and a few on the first empty pages at front and end. The dust jacket, though, has protected the book from most of any damage, and, especially along the spine, you can see how it has faded. Even then, the dye still shows strong, and the picture of Gould on the back still is clear.
