$75.00

268 pp. Illus. from photographs. Pictorial flexible cloth. Fourteenth Edition. Topeka: Rigby Publishing, [1923].

This fabulous candy cookbook was revised and updated numerous times - this time to include recipes for the ice cream parlor craze of the 1920's (when sundaes began!). Written for professionals, with chapters instructing readers on running a candy or ice cream business, scaling up, financial considerations, and modern technology in candy-making. Rubbing and a bit of fraying to extremities, else very good.
