Your Credit Union's 40th Anniversary Celebration Cookbook

The book is in fair condition, with noticeable aging and wear on the cover and pages. The spiral binding is intact but shows signs of use. There is no dust jacket, and the cover has some discoloration and minor edge wear. Despite these flaws, the pages are clean and legible, preserving the integrity of the content.
