This book was one of the reasons I am an executive chef today. I read this book constantly. I would bring this book to the backyard with me when I made my mud pies and cakes. I still remember it word for word. I still have this book to the day! It needs to be rebound, of course, but it will remain within my collection forever. If still in print, I would definitely get another. An autographed copy would shake my world. People are usually surprised when I speak of this book. It isn't as well known as I imagined when I was younger. To me, this book and the 70's/80's Betty Crocker Cookbook were best sellers! Thank you for creating this book!! It really made an impact on me and I mention it frequently when asked about the start of my career.
