Here is a hard cover copy of the classic cookbook titled... Treasured Polish Recipes for Americans compiled by the Polanie Club, Minneapolis, Minnesota, originally published in December of 1948, this copy is from 1974.
The dust jacket shows wear, some small tears and foxing (discoloration from age) but it did a great job of protecting the front and back covers of the book. (Second picture of the cover is the book without the dust jacket.) There is just a little wear at the edges of the book itself from re-shelving. INSIDE there is a gift inscription on the first blank page, otherwise the pages are at least 97% free of any marks, stains or writing. There is an average of 3-4 recipes per page with 169 pages including index.
Written in English, the book has both English and Polish titles along with an introduction to Polish cooking. Lots of Polish proverbs sprinkled throughout the book, both in English and Polish, Christmas, Easter and Harvest traditions.
