About This Item
Portland, OR: Collector Press, Inc. , 2004. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. First Edition, First Printing. New. See scans and description. Portland, OR: Collector Press, Inc., 2004. 'Retro Food Fiascos - A Collection of Curious Concoctions', by Kathy Casey (Introduction and Commentary) and Lisa Perry & Jennifer Weaver-Neist (Editors). Wide octavo (landscape octavo), illustrated jacket, pink cloth boards with front cover image in multiple shades of pink, green-yellow endpapers, 128 pp. As New, despite approaching vintage age. Gleaming and flawless. See scans. An aggregation of what are, at least now, in retrospect, truly repulsive recipes from the 50s and 60s. Just a few: asparagus pretzel salad, baked corn chex with cheese custard, crown roast of frankfurters, veal-oyster loaf, french onion soup with coke, tomato relish gelatin ring, and... everybody's favorite...tuna pizza. Dozens more. We may have actually liked some of them - as tabla rasa kids. We definitely don't now. As collectible an example as you're likely to find. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. L71
