I, too, have this book now. Found it for $1.00 at a garage sale today. It's not to the point of being duct-taped yet; however, it has clearly been well-loved. The elderly Seller hesitated for a moment & then she said, "This belonged to my sister" & pushed it toward me saying, "Take good care of it". My book has additional folded recipes stuffed inside the front and back covers.. and is also green with gold lettering. Every recipe is lovely.. wow, these recipes are treasures: top-quality, remarkable. Enjoy your sweet cookbook, everyone!! What a nice conversation to discover.. I, too, have this book now.

This book was clearly well used and the cover is so badly worn that it is held together with duct tape. It makes me wonder why someone in the family didn't keep it as a sentimental treasure.

Some of the index pages are torn, but, what a book! This was certainly written for a different country in a different century. Must say many recipes are delicious and very simple to prepare. Today, recipes are given names by their ingredients, back then they were not. Really like using this book and find recipes not seen today!
