Pros & Cons
Pros
Great recipes. Lots of jello molds! Sweet milk pancake variation and the gingerbread men.
Betty crocker's revised 1950's cookbook is worth buying. It is a lovely cookbook, but my mom specifically wanted the bound, hardcover, book version. I wish all cookbooks formatted their recipes the way they are in this cookbook.

Cons
Although many recipes are outdated, the cake recipes are very dry. Its a misrepresentation of the original cookbook.

Highlights
Quality
Excellent cookbook that has withstood the test of time.
This looseleaf cookbook appears to be made of quality materials.
I remember my mother, who got married in 1950, having this same cookbook until the cover was lost and pages were falling out.
It is printed like it was when the first printed it
Price
It was a great price and it is in very good condition.
This book as it was originally written is absolutely priceless and should be part of anyones cookbook library.
With high grocery prices, you can't go wrong in getting back to old fashioned cooking.
Shipping
This book arrived in good shape, in a timely manner.
I received this purchase promptly and it was in excellent shape.
I ordered this for my mom and it got delayed.
Packaging/appearance
Everything is good with this and packaging was intact and well done, but first page was ripped out.
Competitiveness
This is exactly the same as my mom's beat up cookbook from 1952.
