Like Water for Chocolate

Quarter-bound in chocolate brown cloth with light brown lettering to spine, light brown boards and green endpapers and paste-downs. A fine copy with a little pushing to spine tips.
The original and unclipped dust jacket – featuring attractive artwork by Cathleen Toelke – shows only minimal wear to spine tips and a little toning to verso edges. A near fine and sharp example of a popular work of Latin American magical realism.
