Description

This book is inscribed "Ann Field her book" on the inside front cover but is written in several different hands. The book contains 83 pages of recipes and menus, the first 64 of which are paginated. The library catalog record implies that the book's original binding broke and that the book was subsequently ineptly rebound, resulting in "considerable disorder."
