New York: Worcester Salt Company, 1910. 32 pages.  Written by the editor of the Boston Cooking School Magazine. Precedes a more common 1931 Worcester cook book.  Harvard University Library suggests a publication date circa 1910, but an ad for iodized salt on the rear cover suggests post-1924, the date generally accepted as the first use of iodized salt in the United States.  An interesting question for the buyer to research!  There are no salt-free or low sodium recipes in this cook book. The first ad claims that Worcester has more sodium than any other brand, and the first sentence on page 3 proclaims, "Food withou salt would not keep you alive." The book is in very good condition: clean and bright, with a tiny chip out of the bottom corner of the front cover... First Edition. Paperback. Collectible-Very Good. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall. Book.

Dorchester, Montreal, New York: Walter Baker & Co., Wells Richardson Co., Royal Baking Powder Company Book. Fair. Stiff Card Wraps. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. A three-item lot of vintage cook books dating from the early 1900s. 64, 32 and 44 pages, respectively. All three have been much-used, which is a good thing, because the condition makes it clear that these were trusted recipes. Mind you, "much-used" also generally means that it has had the living daylights hammered out of it, and for two of the three items offered here, that is certainly the case (for the other, only the comatose daylights have been hammered out of it)..
