About This Item
Salt Lake City, Utah: Printed at Geo. Q. Cannon & Sons Co, 1895. Octavo (20 x 14 cm.), 116 pages. Second Edition. "The first edition of this little work having been received with favor, I now venture to offer my friends and the general public, a new, revised, and enlarged edition." (from the preface); no copies of a first edition have been located. An early household manual published in Salt Lake City, with a combination of household, culinary and medical recipes. Margaret Cook records an 1886 publication by the Ladies of St Mark's Guild, SLC, as the earliest known Utah community cookbook, but notes that no copies are recorded and the book is only known through a statement on a 1909 revised edition. Early owner's name, "Sarah A. Evans" neé Brackham of Bringham Canyon, Utah, inscribed to front and rear endpapers. Hinges starting a bit, otherwise very good, in original, publisher's green cloth, with Gilt titling to front board. Overall very good. [OCLC locates twelve copies of this second edition, none earlier; no copies in Brown, Cagle, or Cook].
