1916 MARY JANE'S COOK BOOK Binder Style BOSTON TRAVELER RECIPES Nice VTG HC 1st

Description: Mary Jane's Cook Book is a 307 page, 6 1/2 X 8 1/2 inch hardcover book published by The Boston Traveler. The copyright date is 1916 and no additional dates or printings are noted, indicating a first or very early edition. The book is constructed with a strong two-pillar metal screw binding, and the instructions for releasing/securing the binder are present. Four blank pages are inserted at the end of each of the twenty sections of recipes that can be used for notes or to record additional recipes. The "How to Use Mary Jane's Cook Book" page indicates that additional blank pages and binder extenders were available from the Boston Traveler for a nominal fee. The book is in very good plus condition, with brown cloth-covered boards, gilt title on the front panel, and patterned endpapers. Synopsis - This cookbook includes recipes for soups and chowders; fish, meat, poultry; vegetables; salads; desserts; pies; bread and muffins; sandwiches; griddle cakes; candy and more. Some of the recipes are attributed to readers and an errata page (on the back of the TOC page) lists additional recipe contributors. The only illustrations are black and white line drawings associated with the instructions for using the binder mechanism. Indexed. Condition Details - The book has a very tight binding, and the text has no foxing, wrinkles, soil, tears, marks or writing. None of the blank pages have been used. The text margins are very mildly toned, as are the first and last pages and the rough-cut textblock edges. The metal binding is undamaged and rust-free. The cover has very light edgewear with a pinhole in the gutter and two mild scuffmarks on the front panel, no fraying, soil or stains. No unpleasant odors. Collector quality. I never use stock photos. The item pictured is the item you'll receive, and it will be packed with care regardless of the shipping method. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
