The ladies of the Libertyville Presbyterian Church compiled this cookbook the way small congregations did: level measurements, a shared shorthand explained up front, and a contents page whose numbers were inked in by hand.

This edition is built from a dual-engine reading of the original pages, checked against the scans. Its exact year is still being verified from external records before publication.
