Bohemian San Francisco: Its Restaurants and Their Most Famous Recipes, the Elegant Art of Dining

San Francisco Paul Elder 1914, First edition. Printed at the Tomoye Press of Paul Elder. (144pp.). Tipped-in frontis. Index. Printed throughout in orange and black. Tan cloth lettered in black. Early owner's inscription on blank flyleaf. A fine copy. The frontis illustration is from a photograph of the interior of the old Cobweb Palace at Meigg's Wharf. A wonderful period book covering San Francisco's finest, including Coppa's fior d'Italia, Fly Trap, Fred Solari's Hang Far Low, Hotel St. Francis, Negro's, Poodle Dog, Tait's, and many more. Also includes many recipes, earlier "old-time" restaurants, etc. An appendix includes, "How to Serve Wines," "A Good Bohemian Dinner" (starting with a Gibson cocktail prior to entering the dining room), and "A Few Rare Recipes" (Onion Soup, Solari's Crab Louis, Italian Risotto, Delmonico Raisin Sauce, Coffee Royal, Mint Julep, and many more). A desirable little book, becoming quite scarce, especially in this condition!
