La Grange, Illinois: Published By The Author, 1927. Rich brown cloth hardcover with gilt stamping. 682 pages including nearly 20 pages of ads for dairy production equipment. (Some really great illustrations of early equipment!) Everything that could possibly have been known about making butter in the 1920s, including the history of butter, creameries, sanitation, milk separation, pasturization, and butter production, packaging, and marketing. The covers are remarkably crisp and bright, having been covered since they were new with heavy brown wrappers. These wrappers unfortunately left traces of tape on the front and back paste-downs. (Most could be carefully removed, although some clue ghosts will remain.) Aside from that and some rather dusty edges, the volume looks like new with faintly mellowed pages.. Second Edition.
