This cookbook is unique in its format because they withhold their church’s name AND their own names, giving only initials as signature for their contributed recipes. Strangely sad ... the recipes are SO good, and I’m grateful they shared them. In keeping with my format of always listing the names, I’ll include the initials anyway. Also bizarre is that there is an Index for the 416 Household Hints, but NOT for the recipes ... so I’ll need to list them below. Cookbook does include a poem called Bountiful Blessing by Brian O’Higgins, charts, blank Notes pages, uplifting scripture proverbs. Recipes are obviously ethnic, including some Russian Mennonite ones. Cookbook is full of typed-format recipes, and with approx 50 unique contributors, some with multiple submissions, you KNOW there is a good variety of MANY good recipes ... and you know the Mennonites are among the very best! And don’t you just love the poem OUR COUNTRY MEALS from start of cookbook (see image)?

Condition: Very Good, and I checked EVERY page to enter all the names! (I include ALL names in ALL fundraiser-type cookbooks because I know how frustrating it is to hope and wonder if specific contributors are included in a book, only to find out they’re not, upon receipt.) Pages and covers are clean (only a tiny spot above the last ‘n’ in Mennonite on front cover), tight to wire-coil binding, no folds or tears or chips, all pages intact, no defective spirals. Only writing is penciled price numbers that Mother paid for this cookbook many years ago. Very little wear to cover edge/corners. What appears to be lines on front cover in image is actually the texture pattern intended. Any shadow is from copier and NOT on items. Books are NOT from smoke-free or pet-free environment. Email with questions or requests. Images are part of the description; please SUPERSIZE them for clarity.
Seize this scarce book for posterity, the descendants, future generations of those who contributed the recipes ... this legacy may be all there is!
Shipping: 1-pound securely packed in plastic and BOX to protect the spiral binding (not a flimsy clasped or bubble envelope!) Media/Bookrate mailing. BUYER pays ACTUAL mailing cost - NO HANDLING FEE ... SELLER pays USPS Delivery Confirmation and PayPal fees.
Payment by PayPal debit/credit to CONFIRMED address only. Unless other prior arrangements are made, PayPal payment is requested within 24-HOURS of invoice. If payment not made, or if I have not heard from you, item will be taken off on-hold status and relisted as active.
I am honored to combine book multiples in one package with one payment, unless item states otherwise. To save you money on MULTIPLE items, please KEY ON the button located to the right of this tab titled "CONTACT SELLER" and send me a message asking for a revised quote. PEND PAYING UNTIL I INCLUDE THE DISCOUNT(S) and email you one adjusted total invoice.

Shipment by USPS within 2 business days from receipt and clearance of payment, but I strive for same or following day, except weekends/holidays.
I also strive for quality packing of your purchase, but do contact me If you would like to purchase insurance (non-Priority insurance is optional) on non-Priority items, but please request BEFORE paying so I adjust invoice accordingly. (Insurance is automatically included for up to $50 for Priority shipments.) If item is insured, but was received damaged, it is imperative to keep ALL SHIPPING MATERIALS should you need to make an insurance claim. All parcels include a tracking number, and you will be emailed that number upon shipment, so we both can monitor its journey to you. Please notify me if your item is not received.
We do not offer refunds or exchanges .. . All sales are final.
These books/items are not new unless specified new … they are retro or vintage, and some may come with wear and/or smells. I go to extremes, perhaps, detailing each item attributes and flaws, if any. And I especially include SMOKE and PET clauses in all descriptions, so please don't email me asking if it smells of smoke because you may be able to smell better than I do.
Please read the description and condition carefully before buying … all sales final, unless I grossly and unintentionally erred or omitted. Questions or comments or requests for more/larger images, please contact me prior to purchasing … I care.
Please do not use my description to sell your book. It takes me hours, sometimes, to describe and list names/recipes/contents so you'll know exactly what you're buying.
