Corresponds to Elizabeth Driver's definitive bibliography on the subject: "Culinary Landmarks: A Bibliography of Canadian Cookbooks, 1825 1949": Citation No. M7.21 (p.934), wherein, she notes that "the twenty-third edition was probably published after 1950, since it was given to the Dean of Women at U. of Manitoba in 1952 for her comments". Scarce. Overall, very good. Seller Inventory # 6171
