First edition. Book shows no wear, and the dust jacket is equally undamaged, except for a residue of something that was spilled on the front. You can see it if the light is right and feel it a bit, but it has had no impact of the color of the dust jacket, and it doesn't wipe off. Otherwise, this thing is pristine. It seems Fondue is back. I remember receiving a fondue pot as a wedding gift back in the late 1970s, and learning what Kirshwasser was about 1980, but I do not remember using the pot much after that.

The cover of this rare old book has come loose from the book and is in two pieces. This small guide is intended to help plan children's parties around a number of themes, including New Years, Valentine's Day, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and more. Each party plan comes with a number of recipes and a beautiful full-page, full-color illustration by the well-known artist Frances Tipton Hunter.
