The title page goes on to describe the book as: The Five Food Principles Illustrated by Practical Recipes. This small hard cover book (5 ¼ x 7 ½ inches 190 pages) was published by the American Public Health Association dated 1890. The book was copyright 1889 by Irving A.

The hard covers are a bit dust-dulled but the gilt titles on the spine are still bright and attractive. Inside the book is unmarked but there is some light foxing particularly to the rear endpapers.
