Fisher, M.F.K.
HOME COOKING.
2000 1st With a frontispiece engraving signed by the artist and publisher, Vance Gerry. Pasadena, California: The Weather Bird Press, 2000. One of only 50 copies. A finely-printed literary excerpt of a December 1970 letter to Eleanor Friede from M.F.K. Fisher in which, after a surprisingly poor meal served in an Italian household, Fisher disavows her faith in the inevitable merits of simple, home-cooked fair. Eleanor Friede succeeded Fisher as the wife of Donald Friede. Although the two women had a difficult relationship, Eleanor played an important role as stepmother in the lives of Fisher's two daughters and, following Donald's death in 1965, Mary Francis and Eleanor became fast friends. Printed intaglio and letter-press, and bound by Mariana Blau in full green and tan gingham cloth with a printed paper title label. A fine copy.
