St. Helen School Saginaw Michigan Reading Riting and Recipes Cookbook 1985 Fundcraft Spiral Bound

$19.99

This is the St. Helen School in Saginaw, Michigan Reading, 'Riting, and Recipes cookbook, a 1985 comb bound community fundraiser cookbook printed by Fundcraft Publishing, with 215 pages of recipes plus an index.

The pages are clean and easy to read and the plastic spine is solid, while the front cover shows stains, a small burn mark, and edge wear, all shown in the photos.

Families of St. Helen School sent in their favorite dishes, and most recipes carry the name of the person who submitted them, so a reader may find a relative's recipe inside. It opens with a Happiness Recipe and runs through salads, main dishes, potatoes, and desserts, from Copper Pennies and Poor Man's Salami to Hungarian Pastry and homemade ice cream.

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.
