A 1943 copy of "Cooking on a Ration, or, Food can Still be Fun" by Marjorie Mills, a radio personality and reporter known throughout the South and the Midwest.
The book was originally $2.00, and contains a small note from the publisher on the inside of the front cover, "War has made people eager for books [...] Books must be smaller now and thinner than the ones you have been used to. However [...] books are not shorter and your dollar buys as much reading matter as it ever has."
There is also an add for War bonds on the back cover.
