This is a charming 1953 first edition of The Shaker Cook Book: Not by Bread Alone by Caroline B. Piercy, complete with its original dust jacket. This classic vintage cookbook features over 240 traditional Shaker recipes and is illustrated throughout by Virginia Filson Walsh. The dust jacket shows age-appropriate wear, including tears, chipping, and gentle color fading typical of mid-century jackets. Despite the outer wear, the interior is remarkably clean — pages are crisp, bright, and unmarked, and the binding is tight. The book itself is in beautiful vintage condition. A wonderful collectible for anyone who loves vintage cooking, Shaker culture, or mid-century Americana.
