Description
Very rare antique book, still in print. According to an Amazon listing for a newly printed copy: "This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it"The book is "A Textbook for College Classes" and has the signature of a female, which is also rare given how few women attended college during WWI. I believe that the book is a 1918 first edition, given that all that is me mentioned is the copyright date. College textbooks put out by "The United States Food Administration", were obviously less common and more detailed than information passed out to general citizens.
Book is in very nice condition, binding is solid and pages are not marked up and no worms or mold or strange smells. Very interesting and somewhat forgotten part of WWI, when technology had not yet reached a point in the US where available food was so plentiful as it is today. Not a minor or unimportant part of history, but maybe a largely forgotten one.
Please see numerous photos for more information. Thanks for looking! Location b00
