The book is in excellent condition after almost 70 years, especially the spiral binding which is completely intact. There is some slight scuffing and chipping along the edges of the covers, as well as some small dents and creases consistent with the age of the book. No stains or marks were observed on the covers or any pages, and there are no loose or missing pages. The covers still have the high gloss shine that was present the day the book was manufactured. If you enjoy cooking, and especially if you enjoy outdoor barbequing and grilling, this is a must-have cookbook and instruction book!
