Description:
St. Paul, Minnesota: Webb Book Publishing Company, 1928. Octavo (19.5 x 13.5 cm.), 151 pages. Illustrated. Revised edition; originally published in 1911, and reprinted in 1917. Many printings followed, and in 1942, the book was revised and expanded "containing, in addition to all usual features, a new nutrition section treating fully of vitamins, calories, proteins, and minerals, together with sixty-three carefully prepared menus analyzed for vitamin and calorie content." The 1934 edition was revised by Farmer's Wife Magazine under the editorial control of Miriam J. Williams, and the 1942 revision and subsequent editions were credited to Bess M. Rowe, Woman's Editor of The Farmer. Includes sections on canning and drying food and gives instructions for removal of stains. Age-toned but clean throughout; in green-decorated stiff gray wrappers, backed in green cloth. Very good. Scarce. [OCLC locates just one copy of this printing (NYU) and just nine copies of all printings prior to this].

Description:
Utica, N.Y.: Converse & Co., Job Printers, 38 Arcade, 1884. Octavo (20.8 x 13.7 cm.), 49, [3] pages. Advertisements. FIRST EDITION. A slim but very enjoyable community cookbook, issued by a woman's church group from Utica, in Central New York State. The recipes, in narrative form, are often but not always attributed. Most pleasing is the array of typefaces used throughout, in the recipe titles and especially in the advertisements. Advertisers include S.S. Converse - "Dropsy Treated Free!", A.L. Owens' Dairy Parlors, Ferrill's Ladies' Oyster Parlor, E.E. Corliss' Human Hair Goods, Geo. Clark's Glove and Mitten Factory, and The Casino! amongst many more. ~ "Dame Durden" was a sort of shorthand for "housewife", with origins deep in English folk songs and tales. Dickens' Esther in Bleak House was referred to as Dame Durden and a song about her was sung by Gabriel Oak in Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd.
