Collector's Notes

The copyright page identifies this copy as part of the first edition and states that the second printing consisted of 25,000 copies in July 1982.

The same page notes that proceeds from sales of Soupçon II supported community projects of the Junior League of Chicago.

Community cookbooks like this are often collected by organization, city, or series, so Volume II has particular appeal to someone filling a gap on the shelf.

The seasonal color coding and substantial recipe selection also make this a cookbook that is still easy to use rather than one that only sits in a collection.
