Well loved copy of this uncommon recipe collection, as noted in Jacqueline B. Williams' facsimile reprint, being Seattle's and Washington State's first cookbook. Includes wonderful period advertisements from the burgeoning city of Seattle, several essays which give a taste of upper class life, and many popular recipes from the turn of the century including several in manuscript from the former owner. A historic cookbook from the state of Washington which is quite scarce in the trade and held by just 10 institutions in the U.S., according to OCLC. Bitting pg 531. Brown 4316. 22x14cm, 319pp. Advertisements. Original leatherette covers with several clippings of recipes, etc. adhered by the former owner. Covers worn at spine ends and showing general wear. Pastedown advertisements a bit cracked along edges, former owner's name and annotations in pencil throughout, with several recipes in manuscript added. Typical toning and staining in a few places, else complete and sound. A very good copy.…

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
