Mastering the Art of French Cooking (Volume One)

Julia Child, Simone Beck, and Louisette Bertholle · Alfred A. Knopf · 1961

Beware later Knopf printings that keep the identical jacket art but drop the 'First Edition' line and show a different flap code/price. Book-club printings lack the printed price on the jacket (and typically the '10/61' code) and are on cheaper stock. Rely on the 'FIRST EDITION' statement plus the August-1961 author note, not the jacket art.
