I flipped through a donated copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking, and found an envelope from Random House.
Inside were two presentation notes signed by Julia Child.
(I found copies of Child's signature at Harvard, and they seem to be hers all right: a distinctive "Bon" in "Bon Appetit", and her "J's" do vary.)
The owner had tucked newspaper clippings of Julia Child's column in the 1970 Minneapolis Star newspaper in their matching sections. Fun, but they acid-stained the pages.
I'm not sure how to price this... Signed copies sell for couple hundred and up. How should the accompanying clippings affect the price? Must look further...
