"Lust will not keep…Something must be done about it."—inscription at the entrance to Yoshiwara For over a hundred years the Western world has heard whispers of the pleasure city, Yoshiwara, set behind its walls in the city of Edo itself, which is today called Tokyo. Here was an eastern red light district, the place for the hedonists, the woman–seekers, the sensual plasure–hunters of old Japan. There, behind moated walls, an erotic Japanese world unmatched by the West was created by beautiful courtesans, geishas, dancers, actors, and artists. To this "floating world" came the hedonists and the sensual pleasure hunters of old Japan. Many myths and legends encircled the secrets of the Yoshiwara, and still do. In time other Japanese cities tried to copy the original, sometimes even calling their district for geishas and courtesans and pretty waitress girls a Yoshiwara. Stephen and Ethel Longstreet use prints and fascinating original sources to trace the rise and fall of this city within a city, a sanctioned preserve of teahouses and brothels that was not abolished until 1958, sketching a vivid, no–holds–bared portrait of social and sexual more in Japan's capital.

The authors of A SALUTE TO AMERICAN COOKING have collected more than 500 recipes, from all parts of America, that truly reflect the ethnic and regional variety in American cooking, as well as its origins and traditions. Along the New England shores, many of the finest recipes are traced back to the lands of Dickens and Thackeray; gourmet dishes were served in the restaurants of nineteenth-century New York; Mississippi riverboats were famed for their elaborate menus; great seafood dishes were created along the Tidewater and Gulf States. Recipes from the Pennsylvania Dutch farm country and the Middle West acknowledge the prize hogs and abundant fresh produce of the regions; the cooking of the Far West ranges from bear stews in the Klondike to mussels and abalone 'a la California's Malibu Beach. Ethnic sections present French cooking as it is found in New Orleans and in the states bordering Canada; examples of the best in Jewish-American cooking; adaptations of Italian recipes that have become American favorites; Spanish and Mexican influences in the Southwest; and dishes based on the magnificent cuisine of the Orient.
