I have a 1948 Ann Pillsbury “Adventures in Cake Craft” which is a paperback in good shape. The edges are a little waterstained but has not harmed the reciopes. Included is a couple of winning enteries from the 5th Pillsbury BakeOff. Anyone have any ideas of what it might be worth? I’m interested in selling it.

Just told that these written in ink, but I don’t think it matters. (update to previous comment)

My mother has been doing research to link our family to the DAR (Daughters of the American Revolution)and we just received a compilation of recipes that one can barely read (hand written in pencil with the pages falling apart). I don’t know if the recipes are any good, but it was compiled between 1780s and about 1810-15 from a relative. Any use for this?
