Dorothy L. Sayers - Mustard Uses Mustered - First Edition

ANONYMOUS, [SAYERS, Dorothy L.].

Mustard Uses Mustered.

Norwich: J. & J. Colman, Ltd., no date [circa 1926].

FIRST EDITION. Octavo (22 x 14cm), pp.24. Publisher's card wraps, stapled. Illustrated throughout. Undated but circa 1926.

Clean within, edges toned and marked, staples rusted, covers marked and rubbed, especially to spine. Rare. Very good.

A wonderfully humorous little book documenting the manyfold uses that this fine condiment can be put to. The book is written anonymously but is likely largely the work of Dorothy L. Sayers who spent time working for S. H. Benson, the London based advertising agency where she produced work for brands such as Colman's and Guinness. The Mustard Club run by its founder the Baron de Beef was one of the most successful marketing concepts of the early twentieth century with huge buy in from the public.
