This is perhaps one of the most unusual books that I have seen on the market. So unusual that I could not resist buying it even though it is not what I generally buy for stock. The book and its slipcase are in Fine condition. The outer case shows cut-out windows as part of the illustration and when the book is present within the case the photo of the author on the back of the volume shows through as if she is looking out of that window. The book itself has many items attached to it internally as intrinsic parts of the book. There are envelopes with lovely removable cards in them that contain warm philosophy as well as interesting recipes. This is one of those books that you really have to see to appreciate. The back of the slipcase says: There is magic and mystery in the French farmhouse known as Pistoulet. Here in Southwestern France, situated between the Field of Echos and the Hill of Forgotten Dreams, Mademoiselle J. uncovers the ancient recipes which transform the weary guests at Pistoulet. There is redemption in the Tourte of Friendship, Potage of Passion, Celestial Croutons, Tea of Courage, and the Sweetness Enhancing Honey as well as all the other magic potions. Here there are fold-out letters, Handwritten Cards, recipe pockets and many other enchantments which demonstrate how Pistoulet changes all who can embrace the magic! Unusual and beautiful. We are pleased to send pictures on request.
