Partial minor binding challenges but holding strong.. 1 Red & white floral symmetrical design on cloth over boards. 26 cm. Color and B&W photos, artwork, diagrams. This is an American classic post-war 1950s cooking reference, as the nation and home life began to rebuild after years of tragic loss and shifted priorities. Information is thoroughly and attractively presented. In better condition, this volume would be on a collectible shelf, and too costly for constant use. However, this book has seen constant family use, loaded with information and ideas from the practical and helpful to the wonderfully creative. It was designed and written for the novice, but a ready reference toward becoming more confident in preparing a variety of nutritional meals and desserts.
