GRIMOD DE LA REYNIERE - Manuel des Amphytrions, contenant un traité de la dissection des viandes à table, la nomenclature des menus les plus nouveaux pour chaque saison, et des éléments de politesse gourmande. Paris, Capelle et Renand, 1808. In-8 period green paper boards, frontispiece, 384 pp, 16 engraved plates hors-texte. In original antique boards, with full margins. ORIGINAL EDITION, much sought-after. A good copy of this mythical book of French gastronomy, written in an impertinent tone, with phrases such as "one can compare an amphitryon who does not know how to cut to the owner of a library who does not know how to read" or "it is not enough to have spent one's life rinsing glasses to be a connoisseur". Copy complete with table of contents, often missing. [Vicaire 427, Simon 805, Bitting 203].
