A time-capsule community cookbook with serious Flint-industry charm: Good Things From Plant 2 to You, sponsored by A.C. Spark Plug Plant 2 (Flint, Michigan). This is the kind of real-life recipe book that reads like a lunchroom potluck lineup—casseroles, crock-pot favorites, quick family dinners, and handwritten notes from whoever actually cooked from it. It’s plastic comb bound (lays flat on the counter) and includes fun period details like an AC spark plug ad and a meat cooking chart.
