Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

6 " x 4½". Stapled thin card wrappers. Pp. 60. Very good: light wear and spotting to wrappers; faintly toned with a few spots to fore edge. This is a rare book of recipes and culinary expertise issued by the Woman's Club of Walnut Creek, California, the town's first service club. Organized in 1911, the club secured a Carnegie Foundation grant for the town library in 1916, among other volunteer efforts. They sold their clubhouse in 1997 (now in the historic registry) and disbanded in 2000. This book offers 229 recipes in ten categories, each with the name of the woman responsible for its inclusion. Sweets were the star, with separate sections for "Cakes," "Cake Fillings and Icings," "Cookies and Doughnuts" and "Pies, Puddings and Desserts." It also instructs on meats, breads, breakfast and "Luncheon Specials," with entries for fried chicken, "Brain Cutlets," "Old English Mustard Pickles" and a "Tomato Surprise Salad." A few poems are interspersed, and one page has "Household Hints" on how to remove oil and grease spots, "toughen" up a new broom, store fresh fruits and "strongly flavored food." The book also holds nine ads for local merchants such as the San Ramon Valley Bank and W.E. Mauzy & Son, plumbers for "Happier Homes Happier Wives." Our research revealed the founding of the latter in Walnut Creek in 1913, and others operating in the 1920s, allowing for our date attribution. Rare culinary efforts from a California women's club. OCLC shows one holding, at the California State Library.…

Shopbeschreibung

You may notice that despite the name of our business, you won't find a lot of books here. While we do sell some printed matter, we specialize in selling original source materials that tell compelling American stories. Our principal abandoned a reasonably successful law career to do this full time because life is too short not jump out of bed excited to start a work day. Our slogan, “The Extraordinary History of the Every Day”, matches our approach to the trade: we seek to preserve the exceptional stories of everyday people. Most of these folks probably had no idea that their actions were anything other than ordinary. As you look through our website and catalogs you'll find a wealth of compelling narratives. Also note that we don't limit ourselves to those lost to history as our work has enhanced many a wiki page. Considering our present inventory, you might also think we only buy and sell material related to underrepresented social groups and social movements. That's because of the response we receive from customers for this type of material and we would do nearly anything to avoid practicing law again. Truth be told, we get excited about preserving all sorts of interesting stories so the more you would educate us about your collecting interests, wants and what gets you excited, the more likely we'd recognize this material as something we should bring to market. So please feel free to reach out and tell us what you collect. Also, if you have items that you think may be of interest to us, please do not hesitate to write or call.…
