Dust jacket has wear but I kept for the artwork. Hard cover book is in good condition. There are a few stains and has been well loved. The vintage Mexican cookbook by Erna Fergusson, published in 1945 by the University of New Mexico Press, is a hardcover book with a dust jacket. It is intended for young adults and adults interested in cooking traditional Mexican dishes. The cookbook, with 118 pages, provides recipes and insights into the culinary culture of Mexico during the 1940s. The English language book is a valuable addition to anyone's collection of cookbooks, offering a glimpse into the food and traditions of Mexico in the mid-20th century.
