$24.99$0.00
This 1978 first edition of The New Vegetarian is a vintage health and nutrition guide from Gary Null and Steve Null, written for readers interested in vegetarian eating, whole foods, and natural health.
Rather than a recipe-only book, it reads like a practical guide to building a meat-free diet through supermarket-friendly ingredients, nutrition basics, and everyday food choices. Photo-verified details include the original dust jacket with $8.95 price, first edition statement, ISBN, and a distinctive “Property of U.S. Navy” stamp on the bottom text block.
A solid vintage reading copy with a bright mustard-yellow cloth binding and noticeable jacket wear.

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.
