Original vintage Australian cookery textbook, Day to Day Cookery for Home Economics Students, compiled by I. M. Downes.
A wonderful piece of Australian home economics and cooking history, featuring a large collection of traditional recipes and cooking information.
Condition:
This is a well-loved vintage copy showing considerable age and use. The cover has heavy wear, creasing, marks, fading and edge/corner damage. The spine and binding show wear, and the page edges are aged and uneven in places. There is age-related discolouration, marks and general wear throughout. Loose pages and missing back cover.
There is also pen scribbling/writing on the contents page and an old household/cooking label inside the front cover. Please refer closely to all photographs as they form an important part of the condition description.
Despite its worn condition, this is a charming old cookery book with loads of vintage character and would make a lovely addition to a collection of Australian cookbooks, home economics memorabilia or traditional recipe books.
Sold as pictured and in vintage used condition.
