Condition: Fair. Small-format hardback bound in brown cloth, with gilt titles to the front board and spine. Covers are rubbed, marked and faded, with wear to the corners and spine ends; the gilt lettering is dulled. Binding is worn and somewhat shaken, with cracking and exposed stitching at the internal gutters, although the pages remain attached. Pages are age-toned with scattered foxing and occasional handling marks. Previous-owner inscription dated September 1913 to the front endpaper. Extensive pencil scribbling to the half-title page. No dust jacket. A complete, readable copy, but sold primarily as an antiquarian reference or collecting copy due to the binding wear and internal markings.
A charming early 20th-century pocket-sized cookery book containing traditional recipes for preserves, jams, jellies and pickles. Recipes shown include blackberry and apple jam and blackberry jelly. A lovely collectible item for anyone interested in antique cookery books, domestic history, preserving, kitchenalia or miniature books.
The book is undated, but this George Newnes edition is generally associated with the c.1912 Edwardian period. There is an early owner?s inscription dated September 1913, which supports the early date.
