Unmasqued tells of a city that had the courage to have built itself at all, on a base of soggy marsh 12 feet below sea level. A city where the definitive science is Cooking, the mandatory pastime is Dining and the topic of every discussion, Food. Some fading on spine of dust jacket. No tears or markings.
