A Course in Confectionery: Volumes I and II - Clyne, Ernest J.

Clean, tight, unmarked; a few small tears with associated creases to upper edge of dust jacket; spine of dust jacket has two small marks under the word "course"; very light rubbing to dust jacket; price is marked down in pen on inside jacket flap; otherwise dust jacket is very bright and unfaded; very minimal general wear;  Originally published in 1946, expanded with a second volume, this book focuses on the manufacturing of confectioneries. "It was with a feeling of extreme misgiving that I witnessed the loss of the older generation of skilled confectioners through retirements, and the lack of young aspirants to their posts during the war years of 1939-1945. It merely remains for me to point out that "A Course in Confectionery" does not pretend to be more than a somewhat elementary treatise on raw materials and their manipulation. Given this knowledge, it is not a difficult matter to translate the theory into practice, because the written matter contained herein is purely practical knowledge acquired the hard way, and the absence of a long list of formulae is, in my opinion, an advantage. - from the introduction
