This vintage Fourth Edition copy of the \"Los Angeles County Fair Award-Winning Recipes\" cookbook is in acceptable condition, showing clear signs of authentic kitchen use and age. Compiled by the Home Arts Department and illustrated by Marie Lynne, this plastic comb-bound book features a intact brown plastic spine with no missing or broken loops. The front and back cardstock covers display light surface shelf wear, minor age-toning, and faint soil marks. Inside, the pages are complete and fully legible, but they exhibit noticeable food spots, oil smudges, age spots, and liquid stains across several recipe sections and margins — most visibly on pages 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 55, 56, 57, 58, 96, 97, 98, 99, 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 251, 252. Additionally, the final leaf (page 252) was previously stuck to the inside back cover; when separated, a small area of paper peeled away, resulting in partial text loss on page 252 and a corresponding fragment of text transfer onto the inside back cover margin. Overall, while it shows visible vintage kitchen wear, staining, and a minor paper separation flaw at the back, it remains a fully readable, complete piece of regional culinary history. Please see all photos and description. It will be shipped securely via USPS Media Mail.
