DELIGHTS AND PREJUDICES

written by JAMES BEARD

drawings by Earl Thollander

Beard draws on the gustatory memories of a lifetime in this delightful book. He starts right at the beginning - with his idyllic childhood in coastal Oregon, He recounts his earliest food memory of eating a raw onion, skin and all: "I was on all fours. I crawled into the vegetable bin." [!] He intersperses recipes with his recollections.

 Thollander was best know for his travel books, but his art here is a welcome addition.

I am happy to combine shipping to save my buyers money. Books can easily be combined and pack well together. Media mail is a very affordable rate offered by the USPS. Cost is based solely on weight and does not vary with distance. If buying multiple books, please put them in your cart and then "request total from seller". I will then send you an invoice with an adjusted shipping cost. 

However, I have been told that if you are ordering from a phone, it may not be possible to request such a total. If that is your situation, please go ahead and pay the shipping as billed. Then, when I process your order, I will calculate the difference between shipping paid versus actual cost, and refund you any difference.


Thanks for looking!
