A fine copy, splendidly bound in a crisp black cloth spine stamped brightly in gilt and marbled paper-covered boards in a muted red swirling pattern. With the previous owner's name in cursive on the front endpaper (Anne M. Coulter.). A virtually fine copy that has been protected by an original dust jacket with the price of $2.25 at the top of the inside front flap. With a narrow piece missing at the top of the spine and into the top of the rear panel edge. Small chips at the corners as well. A charming pale green dust jacket featuring a drawing of a laid table setting beneath which is listed the Table of Contents for the book. An uncommon book, especially in this fine condition and in the original dust jacket from 1928. Note: There is this L.M. Montgomery connection to Della Lutes: In a promotional blurb published on the dust jacket of one of her own books, L. M. Montgomery wrote of Lutes' The Country Kitchen, "I seemed on every page to be living over again my own childhood in that old P.E. Island kitchen I remember so well. The book is so full of delightful humor and characters. Its people are alive. I've put it away on my 'special bookshelf' where I keep all the books I really love." (Wikipedia) Della Thompson Lutes (1867 in Summit Township, Jackson County, Michigan; died Cooperstown, New York, 1942) was an American writer, editor, and expert on cooking and housekeeping. Her 1936 memoir and cookbook The Country Kitchen won a National Book Award for Nonfiction. Lutes joined the staff of American Motherhood, a magazine founded by Dr. Mary Wood-Allen and published in nearby Cooperstown. From 1908 to 1919 she was the editor of American Motherhood; in 1919 she moved to Today's Housewife, another magazine from the same publisher, Arthur Crist. In 1917 she was also the editor of Table Talk - The National Food Magazine, another Crist magazine.[3][4] In 1924 Lutes became the housekeeping editor of Modern Priscilla, a Boston-based women's housekeeping magazine, and director of their "Proving Plant", an early testing facility for housekeeping products. She continued there until the organization ceased to operate in 1930 due to the Depression. After this time Lutes concentrated on her writing and achieved success starting around 1935, initially combining her expertise in cookbooks and recipes with her memories of her Michigan childhood in a series of popular essays collected in The Country Kitchen (1936), which won a National Book Award for "Most Original Work". Lutes had many articles and stories published in a variety of magazines, including Vogue, Woman's Day, Farm Journal, American Mercury, Gourmet, and others, and a historical article on dime novelist (and Cooperstown resident) Erastus Beadle published in New York History.[5] (Wikpedia) Second Edition with: "Reprinted August, 1928" on the copyright page.…
