Some edge wear and small chips, Missing 1/8" top edge of the spine and 1/8" off an inch on the back of the dust jacket about an inch at the top right hand edge. Some edge wear on the spine.<p> Also includes three reproduction postcards of the McDonald Tea Room.<p> The McDonald Tea Room was in Gallatin, MO. I live about 30 miles from Gallatin, and when I was younger , I remember eating at the Tea Room. I have tried some of the recipes in her book and enjoyed them. The Tea Room no longer exits.<p> Virginia came to Gallatin from Texas, the bride of a Missouri traveling man. Years of subsequent illness during which her husband had given up his job to take care of her had depleted their their small fortune and plunged them into debt. The returns from a small hardware store her husband had started in his father's old blacksmith shop were meager, and she had installed a counter along one side for serving children sandwiches, but there were few children. Virginia's venture was started in 1932. Gallatin is a very small town, 8 miles from anyy main highway and eighty miles from any metroplitan city, yet from this humble beginning has developed one of the most famous eating places in America at the time.<p> Most every national magazine as well as metropolitan newspapers and radio stations have given recognition to the achievement of Virgina McDonald as well as the thousands of visitors to her Tea Room. I am always interested in this cookbook and hope somebody else will be too. A nice addition to anyones cook book library.

Description:
Kansas City, MO: Frank Glenn Publishing Co., Inc, 1956 Near fine blue cloth boards, red text. Dust jacket front almost detached from the spine. taped back with clear tape on the inside of the dust jacket.<p>

The book comes with two post cards of the outside and inside of the
tearoom. The postcards have been covered in a clear plastic sleeve
that you can pull out and put the post card back in.<p>

I have always been interested in this cook book because I have eaten there and I am only about 30 miles from the tearoom that no longer exists.<p>

An introduction by Duncan Hines<p>

Many well known personalities have dined in this lovely McDonald's Tearoom in Gallatin, MO. MO Ex-Govenor Arthur M. Hyde once said:
"Their blackberry ice should be reverently held in the hands and
inhaled as you would a fragrant rose.
