Published in 1925 by Peter Davies, London. This is a special deluxe-edition with a limited print run of 750 copies. This copy is numbered 271. In excellent condition - it is un-read as a number of pages have never been cut open (see photos). Finely bound with a luxury vellum spine and marbled papered boards. Released precisely to mark the 100th anniversary of the book's original 1825 French publication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFirst published anonymously in France in December 1825, it single-handedly elevated food and dining from a basic human necessity to an art form and a philosophical science. It is not a recipe book, but rather a brilliant collection of essays on the senses, digestion, sleep, and the aphrodisiac qualities of truffles and chocolate. Brillat-Savarin’s famous wit coined the phrase, \"Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis specific printing features an introduction by Welsh author Arthur Machen and is beautifully decorated with a frontispiece and in-text illustrations by artist Andrew Johnson.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside the pages are clean, bright and tightly bound. With spotting to the outside edges. Fore-edges untrimmed.
