The Gun Club Cook Book AND The Gun Club Drink Book (2 Vols.) SIGNED
New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1931 (1939). Leonard Holton. Cloth. A wonderful pair of complementary food and drink books, both written by --AND SIGNED BY-- Charles Browne, the former Mayor of Princeton, New Jersey and founder and President of the Nassau Gun Club (of Princeton). The Gun Club Cook Book, warmly inscribed by Charles Browne in Princeton in 1933, is the 1931 "new and revised edition". A sharp copy to boot: Tight and VG (light staining along the rear panel) in a crisp, price-clipped, VG+ dustjacket, with very light chipping along the top-edges and mild soiling to the rear panel. The Gun Club Drink Book, also signed by Charles Browne on the half-title, is a very presentable copy of the 1939 1st edition. Solid and VG in a crisp, price-clipped, VG example of the uncommon, Leonard Holton-illustrated dustjacket. Both books uniform octavos, both charmingly illustrated throughout by Leonard Holton.
