<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeremy Lopez, post: 10133488, member: 89807&quot;]Well I certainly hope that if one of these ever comes to light and I hear about it, it does *not* fetch a premium, because I would like to be able to buy it and still have some money left over to buy some liquor for the party to celebrate the launch of my book about Baker...My real questions are not, of course, about the value of the piece (I know its value to me!), only whether it exists/is likely to exist and, secondarily, where it might have been manufactured and how many might have originally been produced. Incidentally/relatedly, Baker&#039;s first cookbook (a 2-volume set called &quot;The Gentleman&#039;s Companion&quot;) was initially produced in a limited edition of 1250, with each copy numbered. First editions are not super-easy to find, but also not super-difficult, and while they are expensive (I think mine cost $350), they&#039;re not *that* expensive as rare books go, and sometimes (as with one currently listed for $1200+ on eBay) they are obviously over-priced. Baker is definitely a niche interest and I doubt even a book about him will do much to change that, which suits me fine![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
