OP: Single Subject Pamphlets by John Thorne
Shipping calculated at checkout
Before the Simple Cooking newsletter—and before the books that evolved out of them—came single subject, self-published pamphlets that led to all the rest.
From 1980 to 1985, Thorne published (nine, that we’re aware of) staplebound pamphlets with titles like: A Treatise on Onion Soup; The English Muffin; A Pie and a Pint; Pizza: The Art of the Pizzaiolo; Rice & Beans; Aglio, Oglio, Basilico; Down East Chowder; The Dill Crock; and Just Another Bowl of Texas Red.
The slim booklets are now quite scarce and hardly ever seen on the secondary market. We’re offering selected individual copies here in Near Fine condition. [It is worth noting that Onion Soup, the first printed, is a stated second edition. The first, done in 1979 as a gift for his friends, likely had a very limited run, and everything that became commercially available was from this second edition.]
