This is a Rabbit Dinners cookbook. The cookbook measures 5.5" (h) x 3.25" (w).
The book is 3.5" x 5.25", four pages, staple bound, on postcard paper. The cover has a black and white photographic picture of a maid wearing white, serving a fried rabbit dish.

The inside has several black and white pictures of rabbit dishes with corresponding recipes.Collection
