Valuable Recipes<br /> Compiled by the Young ladies of Christ Church<br /> Revised Edition of Valuable Recipes 1880<br /> Publisher: Warren Ohio: Press of the Warren Record 1880<br /> 8vo. 8.25 x 5.5 inches<br /> 104pp.<br /> English<br /> Good<br /> A nice early Midwestern community cookbook put together by the young women of Christ Church in Warren Ohio. The first edition came out in 1876 and this revised 1880 printing followed after it proved popular locally. Books like this were usually made as church fundraisers pulling together recipes from members of the congregation and the surrounding area. Because of that they give a pretty direct look at how people were actually cooking and living day to day not some polished version of it. This one still has its ads throughout which adds a good layer of local history with period businesses from Warren.<br /> Bound in original black pressed paper covers with a cloth spine.<br /> <br /> It is in Very Good condition with heavy shelf wear to the covers including bumped and worn corners. The endpapers show some foxing and discoloration while the interior pages remain mostly clean with slight rounding to the corners and a few dog-eared pages. Press of the Warren Record unknown
