Last Chance to Eat: The Fate of Taste in a Fast Food World

by Gina Mallet

A signed first edition, first printing of Last Chance to Eat: The Fate of Taste in a Fast Food World by Gina Mallet, published in hardcover by McClelland & Stewart in 2004. The title page is flat signed by Mallet and additionally marked “Toronto 2004.”

Part culinary memoir and part examination of food history and culture, Mallet's book considers how industrial production, changing health anxieties, and the fast-food era have altered familiar ingredients and the experience of taste. Her discussion draws on remembered meals, traditional foods, culinary history, and recipes.

Seller-graded Very Good, with the dust jacket present. The jacket shows light edge and corner wear and minor surface marks. A separate page contains a lengthy previous-owner gift inscription dated December 2004, with additional handwriting and a 2005 date; this is distinct from the author's title-page signature.

Please review all photographs carefully, as they form part of the description and show the exact copy offered, including the signature, copyright page, dust jacket, and previous-owner inscription.
