Books

Name: Good Food
Author: P. C. B. Newington

Three published, one forthcoming, four in preparation, in two groups: books for children and books for the home. Every published title was long unavailable. Each is set afresh rather than photographed, from an early printing, usually the first, with every picture and a note on its history.

Remember a book we should bring back?

If there is an illustrated book for children or the home that you loved and nobody has reprinted properly, tell us. We look for books that are out of print, illustrated in their original edition, free to reprint or licensable, and still good to read today.
