This beautiful hardcover (NOT the 3-ring binder) 1981 Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book is in what book collectors call "Near Fine" condition. It looks unused, has no markings anywhere except the recipe (it looks to be the recipe back of a Hersey's cocoa tin) affixed to the inside front cover, and all 480 pages are clean, crisp with no turned down edges, no markings or stains anywhere. This may have been on someone's shelf since 1981, but it sure wasn't used for cooking ...anything! This looks like it just came from the bookstore - I would call this 1981 beauty absolutely "giftable". I describe and photograph all books to the best ofmy ability.
