Description: The American Woman's Cookbook was published for many years and with different editions and bindings. This is the 1951 edition which has both color and black and white photographs and illustrations. The book has tabbed cutouts as part of the design and format so it's easy to flip through the chapters.

Condition: Bookboards in sturdy condition with some wear to the cloth on the edges and corner tips. The original owner signed her name in ink in one of the opening blank pages. There is light water damage at the bottom of a section of pages but it's faded and not thick - about 1/8" or so high from the bottom edge of the page. Overall it's still in fair to good condition for a book from 1951.
