Collector's Notes
The copyright page identifies this as a 1962 first edition, fourth printing. That printing information makes it easier to distinguish this copy from the many later Betty Crocker versions with similar titles.
This is the sort of cookbook someone may remember from a family kitchen, right down to the bright food photography and recipes meant to be used rather than admired from across the room.
- Near Fine: Close to new. Any flaw is small and named above.
- Very Good: Light use. Every flaw is named above, and none of them get in the way of reading or display.
- Good: Complete and usable, with clear signs of use. Every flaw is named above.
- Fair: Heavy wear or damage, named above. A reading or working copy, not a display piece.
Every item is honestly described and carefully packed. These are vintage pieces, so light age-related wear comes with them. I show and describe what I see so you know what to expect.

Questions buyers ask
-
Every listing spells it out and shows it in photos. Chips, hairlines, crazing, worn plating, old repairs. If I did not mention it, it is not there.
-
Yes. Every photo is the actual piece, taken by me. When it sells, it is gone.
-
I note maker, mark, era, and measurements when I can confirm them, and say so plainly when I cannot. Unmarked pieces get dated by what the piece itself shows.
-
I process order within 2 business days, wrapped and boxed so it arrives the way it left here. Don't forget, free shipping on orders $35 and up.
