Description: Offered is the antique soft cover cookbook "The Presto Book of Menus & Recipes", written by Della Thompson Lutes and published in St. Louis by the Cupples Co. The book, written by the housekeeping editor of "Modern Priscilla" magazine, has no printing date but was probably produced in the 1920s; the magazine was published from 1887 through 1930. In addition to the recipes, menus and advice there are many color illustrations of food and four larger Art Deco illustrations, one of each season. The thin book is approx. 9" x 6 5/8" and contains 52 pages. It is in good condition. The textured soft cover has no tears but does have some edge and surface wear and numerous creases. I see no missing or torn pages and all of the pages are well-attached to the cover. They have yellowed and there is some foxing and spotting but all text is easily readable. I see no writing in the book. I have a lot of experience with vintage and antique books but am not an expert so please let me know if my description is missing information and you have additional questions. I will do my best to answer them! Please take a moment to look at some of the other items in my eBay store!
