The protective library sleeving had been glued to the outer edges of the boards, leaving traces of brown paper behind on both paste downs. There are usual library markings and paraphernalia which are limited to the front and back end papers, apart from a small library stamps on the title page. The body of the book is in excellent condition. Borrowed 14 times over a period of 4 years. "Ken Haedrich's creative, delicious, and easy-to-follow recipes celebrate the essence of country baking -- simplicity, freshness, and regional flavors. Store-bought breads will be history when bakers learn the simple steps for making Farm-Style Whole Wheat Bread and Soft Oatmeal Sandwich Bread. Mornings are special with Toasted Almond Pear Muffins, and coffee time is paradise with a warm slice of Pecan Streusel Coffee Cake. Big Broccoli Calzones and Deep-Dish Sausage and Shrimp Pie make hearty meals -- but remember to leave room for a mouthwatering dessert such as Peaches and Cream Pie, Maple Pear Crisp, or Spiced Pumpkin Cheesecake."
