Yes, we have the cookbook.  See it here:  https://vintagecookbook.com/product/every-day-cook-book-1886-later-printing/

Every-Day Cook-Book, 1886, by Miss E. Neil. This edition was published in 1892 by Regan Printing House, Chicago. Miss Neil seems to have had trouble with her publishers. (See below.) THIS edition’s green linen covered boards and spine cover are in good antique condition. Cover has lots of stains and dings. The hinges are exposed, but holding. Most of the binding is firm, but the first 12 pages are loose from the binding. Pages are universally tanned.
The first edition, first printing of this cookbook was published by Regan Printing House, Chicago, Illinois in 1886. That edition had a dark red, pebble-textured buckram-covered boards and the embossed title with no hyphens in Every Day or Cook Book. Another edition was published by M. A. Donohue & Co., Chicago, with no date of publication and no copyright information. The Donahue edition has the title on the cover punctuated this way: Every-Day Cook-Book. (That’s the way it is punctuated on both title pages.) Incidentally, the title on the title page is Every-Day Cook-Book and Encyclopedia of Practical Recipes for Family Use.

This edition has a hard cover with 515 pages, plus index. We’ve had this cookbook several times, and the cover has always been a mess. The second, Donohue edition had many printings, and it is relatively easy to find. . . At least three publishers published this cookbook in 1892: Regan Printing House, Chicago, Mercantile Pub. & Advertising Co., Chicago, and M. A. Donohue & Co., Chicago.
