More about the book on Brain Pickings:
“…what the media missed at first was that the cookbook was arguably the greatest artistic prank of the twentieth century — it wasn’t a populist effort to upgrade mass cuisine but, rather, a highbrow quest to raise the nation’s, perhaps the world’s, collective artistic consciousness.”

I am searching for this book (1st edition, 1932) for a long time! Anyone an Idea where to find one?
thanks!
I have it. It’s signed and belonged to a notable Italian citizen. Excellent condition. I tried to inquire about it here in the states and was referred to someone who dealt in antique cookbooks. The joke is still alive!
