First Edition
First Edition. In Raising Steaks, Betty Fussell saddles up for a spirited ride across America on the trail of our most iconic food. When we bite into a steak's charred crust and pink interior, Fussell finds that we bite into contradictions that have branded our national identity from the start. We taste the colliding fantasies of British pastoralists and Spanish ranchers that erupted in land wars between a wet-weather East and a desert West. We savor the ideas of wilderness and progress that clashed when we replaced buffalo with cattle, and then cowboys with industrial machines. We take in the contradictions of rugged individualism and the corporate technology that we use to breed, feed, slaughter, package, and distribute the animals we turn into meat. And we participate-as do the cattlemen and chefs, feedlot operators and rodeo stars, boot makers and scientists Fussell talks with-in the mythology that inspires cowboys to become technocrats and presidents to play cowboy. Raising Steaks is a celebration of, and an elegy for, a uniquely American Dream. An exceptional copy; fine in an equally fine dw, now mylar-sleeved. Particularly and surprisingly well-preserved; tight, bright, clean and especially sharp-cornered. Literally as new.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 402 pages; Description: 402 p. : ill. ; 24 cm. Includes bibliographical references (p. [374]-383) and index. Subjects: Beef cattle --Beef industry --United States --History --Beef --Cooking (Beef). 1 Kg.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. 8vo. Full brown cloth. xiii, 239 pp. [32] pp. B&W plates of photos. Dust jacket is sunned to spine, bumped to spine head, some light edge wear. Joan Harlow, Judy Garland, Marilyn Monroe - before them all there was Mabel Normand. Mabel was a rebel, a daredevil, a funny, funky angel of sex. She was a pioneer in the Hollywood that invented movies and motorcars and diamonds and gin. Then - rape, murder, drugs, booze. Scandal wiped her out. Any biography is a mystery story but Mabel's story is more mysterious than most. Betty Fussell, in her search for the truth, exposes a maze of fictions disguised as facts.

Book First Edition Signed
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st. 356 pages, illustrations; 25 cm. SIGNED. Boldly signed by the author on the half-title page, no dedication. Stated First Edition. Dust jacket, with light shelfwear/spine slightly faded, protected in a mylar cover. OVERSIZE! No priority/international, except by arrangement. "In an authoritative, wise and wholly original blend of social history, art, science and anthropology, Betty Fussell tells the story of corn in a narrative that is as uniquely hybrid as her subject. It is a story that can be told in the language of myth or industry, of sacred ritual or secular farming, but in any language it makes clear that all the civilizations of the Western Hemisphere have been built on corn. The great epic of this amazing grain and of the people who for seven centuries have planted, eaten, worshipped, processed and profited from it reaches into every corner of American life--not just its food but also its poetry, its commerce, its religion and, of course, its booze. In her beautifully balanced text as well as in hundreds of extraordinary illustrations, Fussell juxtaposes the many facets of corn's history and influence to surprising, dramatic effect. The Story of Corn changes completely one's sense of the shape and nature of the American experience. You will never again munch on a hush puppy, admire a Maya temple, read Hiawatha or simply pass a cornfield in the same way." - Publisher. Size: 8vo. SIGNED. Collectible.
