No dust jacket . . . . Ruth Berolzheimer died in 1965 after a long and illustrious career as a “cooking and child welfare expert†(according to her obituary). She was for years the director of the Culinary Arts Institute, and the editor/author of a number of books. The American Woman's Cookbook was originally published in 1938 by the directors of the College of Home Economics of Cornell University, under the auspices of the Delineator Institute â€" and it seems that it was descended from an earlier Delineator Cookbook. The Delineator Cookbook in turn was derived from a fashion magazine called The Delineator, which was originally produced in the 1870’s by the Butterick sewing pattern company. The book contains over 10,000 recipes, and went to many printings of many editions.

No marks. Might as well be new. Appears unread. . . . . . . . . . One year ago, I read an article about Wendell Berry in the Pough Magazine winter 2018 edition that focussed on 'staying human.' In it, Wendell Berry - with whom I was not familiar - explained "Why I am not going to buy a computer." Mr. Berry tells us he works with pen or pencil and paper. "My wife types my work on a Royal standard typewriter bought new in 1956 and as good now as it was then." Like Moses climbing Sinai to see the burning bush with his own eyes, I decided I needed to read one of his books. I started with the first, "Nathan Coulter;" read the second, "A Place on Earth;" and just finished my third, "The Memory of Old Jack." I thoroughly enjoyed each book, each chapter,… Read More

Gently read . . . . . . Going up (from Monroe, Louisiana) for glory is what Bill Russell does on a basketball court. His specialty, grabbing rebounds and blocking shots, has established him as the best defensive player in basketball history. He's the super-star of the phenomenally successful Boston Celtics. But it's not all glory. Russell is a proud and sensitive Negro and has quite a lot to say about discrimination. He says it quite candidly and warns readers that this is *...not a friendship diary.* He characterizes basketball as *... high-speed applied psychiatry,* and whether he is discussing sport or race prejudice, he speaks convincingly in a direct style. The book goes beyond the initial basketball enthusiast market and bears no relationship to the Good-Negro-Athlete-Makes-Good school of autobiography.… Read More
