Note: I originally posted images from this book in November 2009, but then added additional images in February 2014. Boom!

Just came back from a trip to the middle of nowhere, America and returned with this incredible book of drink recipes from 1967. Written by two wives of Washington DC political power players and illustrated by John Astrop and Eric Hill. One of coolest things I've ever found in a used book store. Here's just a taste of what's inside...

A Christmas Cookbook

From the same team who brought us Booze and Cocina Mexicana comes another brightly-colored cookbook. This one is obviously all about classic Christmas recipes and includes winter favorites like roast goose, turkey gravy, vichyssoise, and pfeffernüsse. Bruce Butte's groovy illustrations are about as late 1970s as you could ever hope for. So on point. Enjoy!

Touring Canada

Beautiful little guide book to driving through the great land of Canada. My friend found this for me in Honolulu of all places. Thanks Aerin!

There's no artist or year credit. I'm guessing 1974. If anyone has any details on this one, please share!
