APPENDIX TO THE I HATE TO COOK BOOK: With Over 140 Recipes and 323 Afterthoughts

by [Ruth Eleanor] "Peg" Bracken New York: Harcourt, Brace & World, Inc., (1966). First edition. "First edition" statement to the copyright page. Delightfully illustrated throughout by Hillary Knight. The sequel to Bracken's I HATE TO COOK BOOK for ordinary women is laden with wonderful homespun, anecdotal humor that anyone could identify with, and rich with helpful tips to make food preparation accessible. A busy family woman's empathetic delight, and a great gift. A barely perceptible rub to the lower front corner tip, else very nearly fine in fresh yellow linen with black embossed vignette art by Hillary Knight to the front cover and with black embossed titles to the spine; in a very good trimmed shorter dust jacket with art by Hillary Knight, with slight rubs to the spine folds and flap folds, rubbed crimps and a tear to the upper spine end, a minuscule surface nick to the lower front panel, and a very tiny tear to the upper edge of the rear panel. The dust jacket will be placed in a clear, removable protective sleeve after scanning for this entry. Octavo; 179 pages; index; plus 'Apologia' introduction.…
