About This Item
Sharon, PA: Sharon Herald Print, 1886. Hardcover. Good-. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Hardcover, original publication - not a reprint. 292 pages with 16 pages of ads for local businesses of Sharon and Pittsburgh Pennsylvania (eight pages of ads in the front and eight pages in rear). Original owner's name (Sallie P. Robinson) signed on last end page as well as the page before. Dark green/black boards are covered with some sort of butcher paper. Unfortunately, this paper was permanently affixed. Chocolate brown end pages show no cracking. No torn or loose pages noted. Includes 19th century recipes for meats, soups, fish, breads, cakes and pies, custards and creams, pickles and spiced fruits, salads, etc. Page 273 has sick room and nursery remedies followed by sundries, curing meat, making soap, cleaning metals, getting rid of rats, and other topics you don't expect to find in a cookbook. A few pages has some pencil annotations, this rarely is appearing in the book and could always be erased if desired, but Sallie saw these as improvements two just a few recipes. The penciled annotations are short and appeared to be limited to perhaps four or five pages, a few small spots noted just a couple pages as well. Overall, the book would be graded as VG to near fine but the paper glued to the exterior boards lowers the grading (G-). This is the earliest known copy of this cookbook that we have found listed but that.

Terms of Sale
Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Purchases will ship by US Media Mail or Priority Mail (if buyer selects) and higher priced items may have insured placed on the order and will typically ship within one business day. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 5 lbs., but only in unusual cases. Insurance is available upon request though we normally place insurance on any item of $75 or higher at no additional cost to the buyer. Non-US sales will ship by First Class International or Global Priority. Additional postage may be required for multiple volume books or books weighing over 4 lbs.
We always take extra care in packaging and shipping. Books are typically wrapped in packing paper or bubblewrap before packaged in a sturdt shipping box. All orders, even those shipped by US Media Mail, will be given a USPS tracking number which will be sent to the buyer so they will know when to expect arrival. Please let us know if there is a book with incorrect or missing photos. We recently moved the inventory to Biblio and a title or two may have had issues with the photos being transferred over.
Yesterday's Book shop is owned and operated by a disabled veteran. Due to my limitations, I often have to rely on speech-to-text software to list the books. If the description has typos ("and pages" instead of "end pages", pace downs instead of pastedowns, guilt instead of gilt, etc,) PLEASE let me know so I can correct the listing. The software spells words by phonetics and can make errors that I may not catch.
There is a 30 day money back guarantee if the book arrives damaged or is not as described. Please contact us prior if you have any issues with your purchases and we will make sure you are taken care of.

About Yesterday's Book Shop (Member IOBA)
Yesterday's Book Shop is an independent, family-owned establishment. The store first opened in 1966 under the name Collector's Corner and was located in Western Maryland. The Collector's Corner dealt mainly in books but also sold stamps and assorted ephemera. In 1975 the name was changed to Yesterday's Book Shop when the store only offered books and printed matter. In the early 2000s the brick and mortar store was closed and now we only sell online.
