The Cape Kitchen: A Description of Its Position, Lay-out, Fittings and Utensils
R95.00
Quick Overview
The Cape Kitchen by Mary Alexander Cook describes the old kitchens of the Cape: how they were built and fitted out. Here for the first time a well-known writer and cultural historian gives fascinating accounts of old methods and utensils, many of which have not been used for years and are quite unknown to the modern housewife. From brand solders and hearth irons to soap and candle-making the author treats each subject with the devoted precision of the true enthusiast. Profusely illustrated with black and white photographs.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
