aslantYesterday I bought a copy of the Joy of Cooking, a 1974 edition. My 1920s Fannie Farmer's Boston Cooking School book was really a little too outdated to be a reliable kitchen reference for certain things.
It is a beautiful eggshell blue color with two red ribbon bookmarks.
We discovered it was autographed by the authors:
When I opened it up, I discovered a bunch of torn-out recipes from a 1976 TV Guide, and this postcard:
it reads:
"4-12 [1977]
