Condition: Good.
All pages and the cover are intact. Well-loved pages contain limited handwritten notes on the front flyleaf and inside back cover. Minor food staining is present on roughly a quarter of the 561 pages, though the text remains entirely legible. The original cloth hardcover shows surface staining and partial detachment along the spine edge. Visible edge-wear and corner bumping present. The binding remains firm, with a slight cock to the spine.
Step back into Depression-era culinary history with this classic 1936 edition of Good Cooking, Made Easy and Economical by Marjorie Heseltine and Ula M. Dow. Designed as a comprehensive guide for practical, budget-conscious meal planning and household management, this volume offers hundreds of timeless recipes organized into 28 distinct sections, complete with an extensive index and meal-planning advice.
Adding to its vintage charm and provenance, this copy includes a small original bookseller label from historic Tory Row in Cambridge, Massachusetts—a wonderful piece of New England bookish history. An ideal addition for collectors of vintage cookbooks, home economics history, or antique kitchenware decor.
