Vintage 1920 The Cook Book of Left-Overs Mabel Sturtevant Illinois First Edition

Antique 1920 first edition cookbook titled The Cook Book of Left-Overs, compiled by The More Nurses in Training Movement with recipes contributed by Illinois Ladies. This historical culinary guide was authored by Mabel E. Sturtevant in Rochelle, Illinois, and served as a fundraiser to support nursing education. The text provides a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century domestic economy, featuring practical recipes for meats, fruits, and cakes designed to minimize food waste. The volume shows significant signs of age and use, including heavy water staining to the page edges throughout, cover wear, and some internal tearing but no pages or pieces missing, making it a compelling piece for collectors of regional Illinois history or vintage ephemera.
