Portland, OR: Hung Far Low, 112 N.W. Fourth Ave. at Couch, [ca. 1945]. 4to. 7.5 x 10 in. [4 pp (unpaginated)]. Text printed in red & black, self-printed metallic patterned softcovers, w/ Chinese temple scene & junk on front cover, red lettering (minor rubbing, edgewear, slight bumping to corners), still VG copy, w/ Sweet & Sour BBQ Pork neatly crossed out in pen. First edition of this relatively uncommon original menu for the historic Hung Far Low restaurant (Red Flower Restaurant in Cantonese) in Portland’s Chinatown, and the oldest. The menu items featured an extensive relatively inexpensive menu from Shrimp Fried Rice at 85 ¢ to Chinese Style Fried Chicken at $ 1.60, or Boneless Duck with pineapple or mushroom sauce at $ 1.75. The Hung Far Low was first established in the building owned by the Wong family in Portland’s Chinatown, and the iconic sign graced the exterior until the early 2000’s when it was removed, and then restored to it’s original place. This menu features the Temple Lounge menu which was popular at the time, and served everything from the Singapore Sling to Cuba Libra Rum, and frozen Daiquari’s. The restaurant relocated in 2005 to SE 82nd Ave., and later closed in 2015. No copies in Worldcat; See: Heather Anderson, Portland: A Food Biography, pp. 129-132.

Single leaf (270 x 212 mm) with copper-engraved plate (198 x 147 mm); very lightly foxed, 2 small paper flaws (of which the larger 8 mm), but overall a very good copy.Very rare engraved broadside advertisement for a Venetian chocolatier. An attractive print, the advertisement offers 'chioccolatta d'ogni sorte' for a variety of prices, beneath an internal view of Guado's premises in Calle Larga in San Marco. Set within an ornamental rococo frame with the shop's 'la nave' sign depicted above, the scene shows a wealthy clientele in a spacious chocolate-house, drinking hot chocolate, with beans being ground in the foreground.
OCLC shows no copies of the engraving. The original copper plate survives in the Civica Raccolta delle Stampe Achille Bertarelli, in Milan.

Milwaukee, WI: The Settlement Cook Book Co, 1941. Octavo, xlvi, 623 pages. Twenty-First Edition, revised and enlarged. A much later edition this influential and massively successful cookbook, originally published in 1901. The emphasis is American, with a smattering of hearty Jewish Eastern European fare. In earlier editions, the Jewish/Eastern European influence was more prevalent. This copy is extraordinary, in unused condition bright and fresh, with the original white, washable boards shiny and clean, the original publisher's green dust jacket, with white bland and red printed text and decoration is equally exceptional. Fine, and rare thus. [Axford, p. 363; DuSablon, America's Collectible Cookbooks, pages 65-67].

To commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Bibliographical Society of America, this retrospective collection of articles seeks to represent, in the broadest possible way, the diverse contributions of the members of the Society to its Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America. The pieces demonstrate to the highest degree of excellence - articles of critical importance that have moved forward the art of bibliography. This volume contains 39 articles that strongly suggest that the practice of bibliography in America during the past three-quarters of a century cannot be easily categorized. Instead, the articles range over the entire spectrum of the world of books. An interesting characteristic of the selection is the preponderance of articles concerned with the relationship between books and people - especially with collectors rather than with those…
