CHOCOLATE AND COCOA RECIPES by Miss Parloa

HOME MADE CANDY RECIPES by Mrs. Janet McKenzie Hill

Other ladies' names are listed in the index, but these two are featured on the front cover.

A promotional booklet from the Walter Baker chocolate company, which has been in business since 1780. A charming piece of chocolate ephemera! 

It does show some wear, since it dates back to 1912.

I love the typography and the images.

This book was bought used, but is in good condition. I take good care of my books in my smoke-free environment.

Notes on condition:

cover: decorated paper cover in somewhat fragile state; slight tearing around staples, chip at two outside corners, diagonal creasing on another, some small spots of dirt - shows overall wear

staple-bound: all pages secure; staples lightly rusted

interior pages: mostly clean, no rips, a few spots of dirt, some light creasing

Please see photos to get a sense of the condition and appealing contents.

I am happy to combine shipping to save my buyers money. Books can easily be combined and pack well together. Media mail is a very affordable rate offered by the USPS. Cost is based solely on weight and does not vary with distance. If buying multiple books, please put them in your cart and then "request total from seller". I will then send you an invoice with an adjusted shipping cost. 

However, I have been told that if you are ordering from a phone, it may not be possible to request such a total. If that is your situation, please go ahead and pay the shipping as billed. Then, when I process your order, I will calculate the difference between shipping paid versus actual cost, and refund you any difference.
