Tassajara Springs Cook Book - that the Becks ( Robert who talks about this book in his interview and Anna) published in 1966 before the ZC bought it. Since it had a Sunset Magazine recipe (for Lemon Chicken) that they didn't realize when it was complied could only see at Tassajara and at Anna Beck's antique shop in Carmel. Thanks Adam Beck for sending and Clare Hollander for scanning.
