Fillin & Yeh Collection of Gastronomic Literature Auction
Apr 10th, 2008 by Jason
Over one hundred rare cookbooks from the Fillin-Yeh collection went up for sale at Swann Auction Galleries this past Monday. The New York Times did a little piece about the auction, which included some pretty important books, including Mrs. Levy and Amelia Simmons, some inscribed 1st edition MFK Fisher, etc.
The auction house website has the catalog kinda hidden, and I can’t link to their dynamically generated ASP stuff, so I made it more accessible. Here is a text only catalog of lots for Sale 2141, Early Printed Books / Gastronomic Literature from April 7, 2008. The print catalog is available for sale on Swann’s site for $35. Above are pictures of a few lots from the sale.
