Message:: [QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 3545738, member: 8363"]I don't buy many books anymore after having to painfully donate bookcases full of them in order to create space.  This book intrigued me, though, and I'm hoping you all can answer some of my questions.  The book itself was used and has water damage in the front.  There are a few references to it that I could find on the web, so it must not have been very popular - one is a salesman's sample at Abe's books and one on Google with no price or information.  I have included photographs of some of the ephemera stuck in pages of the book and one of the hand written recipes in the back.  My questions are as follows:<ol> <li>Does the statement that the book was entered in 1901 in the Library of Congress a copyright action?</li> <li>Since it is "Not Available in Bookstores" does that mean it was part of a subscription or was it sold door to door?</li> <li>This is a big book with illustrations - was this self published?</li> </ol>Any comments appreciated.
