Item description from seller

Hardcover, modern (1950s?) cloth binding with remnant of original cover mounted; t.p., [iii]-xxvi, half-titile, [25]-286, LACKS 287-300, 301-394, followed by 1 leaf of ads and 1 blank. Ownership inscription dated 1842. Toning and some foxing to pages, but all pages legible. Brown in Culinary Americana notes 1860 as the first American cookbook published in Boston. This predates that by 30 years, although it is a reprint of a British title. The missing pages are in the desserts section. Scarce in any condition. From the collection of cookery author Julia Perrin Hindley with her bookplate. She is most noted for her 18 years of work with Safeway during which time she developed the persona Julia Lee Wright for them, using her own signature for the brand logo.
