Joy of Cooking, 1953, As-If-New! Someone owned this 1953 Joy once. And she used it, because there’s a recipe for pop corn balls neatly written on the fly leaf. And, she left two tiny paper place markers in the book. However, those are the only ways to tell this book has been used! It is spotless! The binding is perfect. The cover is perfect, except the corners are slightly rounded. The pages are perfect. Definitely a gift quality copy.
