Own a unique piece of culinary history! This 1968 first edition of "The Blue Sea Cookbook" by Sarah D. Alberson features a heartfelt, full-page presentation inscription from the author to the Enterprise Public Library in Alabama. A mid-century authority on seafood, Alberson covers everything from basic preparation to exotic roe and frog legs.
This ex-library association copy includes a long handwritten inscription in memory of the author’s in-laws. While the light blue cloth cover shows significant vintage wear and water staining, the interior pages and large inscription remain clear and legible. A portion of the original dust jacket flap is pasted inside. Perfect for collectors of Southern history, signed first editions, or niche seafood literature.
Item condition: Vintage Fair. Significant water staining and soiling on the exterior cloth covers; spine is faded with a library call number. Interior is "Good" with standard library markings (pocket, stamps) and a "Discard" status. The signature and inscription are in excellent, legible condition.
