"The Fruit Book," issued by Woman's World Magazine Co., Inc., 1928. The softcover artifact has a black cover with an image of grapes, both purple and green, oranges, pears, apples, and other fruit in a green bowl-and-pedestal, bordered by a circle with green and white sections. Under this is the title and a subtitle describing the book as dealing with fresh and canned American fruit. The publisher's name is at the bottom. The back cover is a duplicate of the front. The first page has a description of the book by the head of the publishing company and below that is a list of other publications offered by the company. Pages four and five concern the importance of fruit in the diet. Recipes then begin, organized by month, and occasionally accompanied by an image of the dish. On each left and right margin on the pages is a silhouette image with the phrase "All Measurements / Are Level" next to them. After the monthly sections are recipes designated for children, the elderly, and convalescents. The last page contains an index. Color illustrations of recipe items adorn the inner covers. With abrasions and rubbing on the spine and corners, some creases on the back cover, and dents on the covers, the object is otherwise in good condition.Lexicon
