John's Economy Cookery Book!




I bought this in 1997 probably for the magical sum of fifty pence. Most good things I've found (most things worth having) cost 50p. Of course to me its priceless, that's the quirk of the collector I wouldn't want to pay a fiver for it (but would because I have to have it) and now wouldn't part with it.
Its a beautiful Tate Gallery Diary from 1972, the cover is Peter Blake's brilliantly titled 'The Fine Art Bit' 1959. The legend, John's Economy Cookery Book is written in a thin flat-headed black felt tip.
Inside recipes have been added including 'Common Market Casserole' and 'Mock Cream' the latter written in the 1st of April entry.
