About this Item
Description:
Assumed first edition with no additional printings listed. Red card covers with black plastic comb binding, black lettering (in English and Chinese) & decoration to front cover, advertisements for Asian-American owned businesses at rear, 8-1/2" x 5-3/4", 54 pp. Very good condition. Although the Veleda Club was founded by "a group of Nisei matrons," the cookbook makes an effort to include Chinese and Polynesian food; perhaps partly because of the popularity of Chinese food in America, but also reflecting the importance of both ethnicities in Oregon history. This edition has a directory of Oriental Food Stores, not found in later editions, and of course the advertisements are different than in later editions. Four of the ads are neatly crossed out, one of which has updated information written in, and one other has a phone number added. The one with the updated address is Pacific Fish Market, owned by Mr. Matsushima: in 2013, an oral historian interviewed him for the Densho Digital Repository, which is available online, and he talks some about the market.

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. Orange card covers with white plastic comb binding, 8-1/2" tall, 48 pp. + 12 pp. ads. Very nice condition with just some toning to the comb, very light wear. "Japanese-American women formed the active and vibrant Veleda Club in 1949. The club's mission was "education, recreation and culture for the benefit of married women." Sensitive to "relations between Japan and America tradewise," the Veledas vowed to provide service to both " the Caucasian community and the Japanese community." (Alexander Street). This 8th printing has 12 pages of ads, all of which appear to be Asian American-owned businesses. The recipes are the same as the first edition, but of course the advertisements are different.
