America Eats (Nelson Algren)

University of Iowa Press, Iowa City, 1992. Hardback with dust jacket.

Written for a WPA program in the late 1930s and shelved when the country went to war, America Eats finally saw the light of day in 1992. Part-anecdotal, part-culinary, it treks through Midwestern foodways, complete with a fully tested recipe section.

Dust jacket spine shows sunning. The book is otherwise in great condition.
