1). Book 1, Treasured Recipes:
This recipe book is classified as Very Good and not Like New because there is some discoloration on the cover, at the lower right-hand corner and along the outer edge
Also, there is some edge wear and a little corner wear on the covers
Other details include that the underside of the cover has a short dedication written in ink at the upper left-hand corner
All considered, however, this is a delightful collection of recipes with perfect pages inside
With regard to the inside pages, this book does not look like it has been used
There are almost 200 pages of recipes including caramel devil's food cake, gum drop bars, Hungarian stuffed cabbage, Danish puff coffee cake, finger paint, clay, and play dough
Almost every page has a recipe title that I'd like to include here; it is really a fun collection
Additionally, there are pages with guides for weights and measures, substitutions and equivalents, and sizes of food portions equaling 100 calories
2). Book 2, Country Cookbook:
This recipe book is in excellent condition with delightful recipes like homemade noodles, cinnamon-crusted zucchini coffee cafe, and crunchy peanut taco casserole

The covers are vinyl for easy care
There are 7 sections including Soups, Salads and Sauces; Main Dishes; Meats, Poultry and Seafood; Breads, Rolls and Pastry; Cakes, Cookies and Confections; Desserts; and Beverages, Sandwiches and Miscellaneous
