Condition: Very Good, and I checked EVERY page to enter all the names! (I include ALL names in ALL fundraiser-type cookbooks because I know how frustrating it is to hope and wonder if specific contributors are included in a book, only to find out they’re not, upon receipt.) Pages and plasticized covers are clean, tight to plastic spiral binding, no writing, no tears or chips, all pages intact, no defective spirals. The only blemish, or maybe not, is a small spot that almost looks like a light printer’s ink smudge on page 23 under the Baked Macaroni and Cheese ingredients (it didn’t go through to the reverse side of page 24). Little to no storage wear to cover edges/corners. Any shadow is from copier and NOT on items. Books are NOT from smoke-free or pet-free environment. Email with questions or requests. Images are part of the description; please SUPERSIZE them for clarity.
Shipping: Buyer pays $4.00 Media/Bookrate s/h and
Seller will add to your $4.00 and pay the extra dollars for upgrade to FIRST CLASS/PRIORITY that will include insurance, tracking number/info, faster delivery, and more gentle handling by the USPS than Media/Bookrate to better protect the plastic spirals on your keepsake.
Seize this scarce book for posterity, the descendants, future generations of those who contributed the recipes or those children who are pictured in the photo from 28-years ago ... this legacy may be all there is! … Perfect as a gift for birthdays, Christmas, newborn grandchild or just to say “I love you and cherish the memories.”
