New York: The Baker & Taylor Company, 1929. Reprint. Large Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. 0x0x0. 1929 reprint of 1923 edition. A few minor blemishes on boards, ink name and date on front endpaper, newspaper clipping taped to copyright page about the author's great-grandfather and namesake, Revolutionary War Major General Artemas Ward. x, 596 pp. Chromolithographic plates, black-and-white photographs and illustrations.

The material difference is a change in focus from the perspective of the grocer, to a broader perspective that would be of use to families interested in educating themselves about the food they buy.
