On Hold 1952 The Big Spread ENCYCLOPEDIA of HORS D’OEUVRES CANAPES Cookbook Ruth Chier Rosen Illustrated

Titled THE BIG SPREAD, An Encyclopedia of Hors D’Oeuvres and Canapes, a Handy Aid Book, by Ruth Chier Rosen, copyright 1952. Paperback, pocket size-like ,with plastic spiral binding measures approx 4”counting the spirals x 5-1/8” (pages are 3" x 5" similar to recipe cards) with 144 pages. Smaller-sized book but scarce and very collectible! Unique to this book is the layout ... it opens from side to side but must turn to read, like an index card. Each category has an extended tab for easy reference. These tabbed categories are Bread Spreads ~ Decorative Edibles ~ Dips ~ Hot Hors D’Oeuvres ~ Smorgasbord ~ Spear-Its. Drawings and full-page b/w or two-toned photos are sprinkled throughout book. As small-in-size as this book appears on the outside, it is PACKED with quality recipes, much like 144 recipe cards, each double-sided with unique recipes!

Condition: Good. Clean, tight to spiral binding with no loose or missing pages or defective spirals, no tears, no chips, no writing. Bumped back top cover corner has semi-straightened crease/crinkles to cover from storage. Tabs are firmly affixed but show minor wear.Cover/gutter shadow is from scanner, not on item...this cookbook was especially difficult to scan! There may have been an original box for this cookbook, but this listing doesn’t include it. Books are NOT from smoke-free or pet-free environment. Email with questions or requests. Images are part of the description; please SUPERSIZE them for clarity.

10-ounce securely packed in plastic and BOX (not a flimsy clasped or bubble envelope!) First Class mailing. BUYER pays ACTUAL mailing cost - NO HANDLING FEE ... SELLER pays USPS Delivery Confirmation and PayPal fees.
