RARE.  The scarce second edition of this famous cook book.  Has a nick on the cover(as seen in the photo), the inside hinges are weak.  There are stains on the back cover as seen in the photo.  Paper lightly age toned.  One pencil note.  Email us with questions and for more photos.  One of the most sought after cook books--the holy grail for collectors.  This may be more rare than the first edition.  We ship fast and secure.  From the preface:  "Among the contributors are many who are eminent in their professions as teachers, lecturers, physicians, ministers, and authors,-whose names are household words in the land. A book with so unique and notable a list of contributors, vouched for by such undoubted authority, has never before been given to the public."
