Maine's Jubilee Cookbook

The book is in good condition for its age. The spiral binding is intact, although the cover shows some wear typical of a book from 1979. There are no inscriptions or library markings, and the pages are clean with no significant tears or markings. The absence of a dust jacket is standard for this spiral-bound format.

"Maine's Jubilee Cookbook," compiled by Loana Shibles and Annie Rogers, is a delightful collection of regional recipes published by Courier of Maine Books in Rockland, Maine. Originally released in 1969, this particular copy is the eleventh printing from June 1979. The book was published to commemorate Maine's Sesquicentennial year of 1970, making it a significant cultural artifact celebrating the state's culinary heritage. The cover design by Flora Cullen and sketches by Anna Crockett add a charming visual element to this spiral-bound edition. As a regional cookbook, it offers a unique glimpse into the traditional dishes that define Maine's culinary landscape. This edition is scarce, especially in such well-preserved condition, and does not include a dust jacket, as it is spiral-bound. Collectors and enthusiasts of regional cuisine will find this cookbook a valuable addition to their collection.
