First edition copy released in 1975 and in excellent condition. Within its pages, readers can find stunning photographic displays of historic homes from the eight counties represented by the league. The magnificent cover features an anonymous pen and ink drawing of the First Friends Meeting House in Burlington, New Jersey, drawn before 1784.

Community cookbooks are more than just recipe collections; they offer a unique look into American society and culture of the past...

Originally created and used by women's groups for charitable purposes, these cookbooks contain valuable information on cooking techniques, kitchen tools, and household advice. They also serve as unofficial historical records, providing insight into the norms and values of the time period.

The first of these charity cookbooks in America, A Poetical Cookbook by Maria J. Moss, was published in 1864 to raise funds for injured Union soldiers during the Civil War.

Today, community cookbooks continue to be successful fundraisers for Junior Leagues, church groups, school organizations, hospital auxiliaries and other charitable groups across the country.

We ask that when making your purchasing decision that you consider the photos as part of the item's description.

We do our best to provide you within the written description as much information, whether it’s the history, manufacturer, or condition, for each item we sell. 

We also recognize that a “picture is worth a thousand words” and ask that you view the photos we provide closely. Often, a photo can be more effective than a written description when determining if an item will meet your needs and satisfaction. 

If you need additional information on this or any item, please do not hesitate to reach out.
