Oswego, OR: Women's Fellowship, Lake Oswego Congregational Church, 1950. Soft cover. Good. Stapled wraps, illustrated front cover, 8-3/4" x 5-3/4", 80 pp. Some staining to covers, sticker pull to front cover, generally clean and solid. A regional cookbook; the First Congregational Church merged with the United Church of Christ and changed their name in 1957, which helps date the book, although I wouldn't guess that this is prior to 1950. The minister at the time was Dr. Vincent Stageberg. Contributor names are included with each of the recipes.

Good condition. Most likely printed in the early 1910s, with only about half the ads having phone numbers, and at least one promoting the fact that they do have a phone. The Waldorf Salad recipe has walnuts (the original recipe from 1896 did not include walnuts; they were added during the 1900s), but just adds "salad dressing" instead of mayonnaise specifically. There is also a recipe for Preacher's Pie. Modern preacher's pie, better known as possum pie in the South, usually has a layer of chocolate-this recipe does not.

New York: The New Republic, 1937. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Very Good. Paperback, tan illustrated wraps, 7-1/2" x 4-7/8", 298 pp. + publishers' ads. Short tear to bottom of front joint, what appears to be silverfish nibbling to some areas of wraps (no bugs now), some toning to spine. Inscribed thus: "Roger Senhouse | from | Edmund Wilson | 1941. | no sincerity, no sandwiches -- that's your motto, is it? -- Act II, 'Dangerous Corner' JBP". Roger Senhouse was then co-owner of Secker and Warburg; he knew both Wilson and Priestley (he introduced Wilson to Sartre's works, and worked with both authors); Priestley's line about the sandwiches refers to the false illusion of comfort and security created by wealth and status. Wilson would have enjoyed that; perhaps it inspired the title to this collection? A nice association copy.
