Point Pleasant Hospital Guild

[COMMUNITY COOKBOOK] Jersey Shore Cooks and Artists

Philadelphia: Point Pleasant Hospital Guild, 1958. First Edition. Spiral bound wraps. 233 pages. 23 x 17 cm. A beautifully illustrated Community Cookbook featuring local artists with recipes attributed to members. A full array of recipes featuring the abundance of seafood and local fruit and vegetables. A delightful array of local advertisements bringing the vibrant commerce of the 1950s to life. Scarce first addition.

"This little book aims to bring you not only recipes for fine living, but through the clever sketches made by our local art group, to call your attention to the many attractions which bring people to the Jersey Shore from all over the country." The Manasquan River Group of Artists was founded in 1939 - the art in this cookbook was donated by them to the Point Pleasant Hospital Guild. Interior clean and crisp, covers toned and lightly soiled. Plastic illustrated covered cards, black plastic spiral bound. Very good. Item #4927
