Pictorial boards. Some pages slightly stuck together by damp. Good in slightly frayed dust-wrapper. "What is repulsive in one part of the world, in another is simply lunch." A truly fascinating read, packed with often very odd pictures and information which will be more or less entirely new to most readers. Much more than the trevlogue the book's blurb claims it to be, this is a work with serious intent which will broaden the outlook of any keen cook orgastronome. This book also provides a huge amount of background information for anyone interested in conservation problems arising out of the over-exploitation of many of the species discussed.
