Description
Every-Day Cook-Book, 1886, by Miss E. Neil. This edition was printed by Donohue & Co., Chicago, with no date, although we know it was after 1886. Miss Neil seems to have had trouble with her publishers. (See below.) THIS edition’s pebbled, green linen covered boards and spine cover are in good antique condition, although very dark. Cover also has small stains and dings. Hinges are exposed, but holding. Binding is firm. Pages are universally tanned, and all are clean and clear. This cookbook is in good, solid antique condition.
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. This 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. This cover is in relatively great shape.
