Wm. H. Wise & Company, 1949. Hardcover. Good. No DJ, with green cloth boards. Fading and discoloration to boards and spine. Bumped/dented corner tips. The hinges of cover in good shape, however outer spine binding has separated from inside book block, thus causing separation between the title page and the listing of color illustrations. Between pages 22 and 23 there is staining in the gutter causing adhesion between pages 24 and facing color photograph, but only in the gutter with a small tear at the bottom of page 23. Pages are free of marginalia and writing, but are fragile and do require being gently turned. Dark staining in the hinge between end papers and free end papers which have darker discoloration along very outer edges. Text block and pages have yellowed, with darker yellowing at top of text block. Overall, this cook book is in pretty good condition considering age.
