Stated twelfth edition from a print run identified as "Fifty-Second Thousand" based on the first edition. Perpetually in demand during the first decades of the last century a church cookbook that heralded the redefinition of community occasioned by the ascendancy of mass print media. "This Cook Book originated" readers learn forthwith "with the Inglenook Magazine published at Elgin Illinois and is made up of unsolicited recipes contributed entirely by Sisters of the Brethren or Dunker Church."
