Thank you for viewing. This is a used item. There is some sun damage and some dirt. It is a set of 15 volumes, but volume 3 is missing. As shown in the image, one book has a "review copy" mark. This is a cookbook I bought when I was a beginner cook. It covers the basics of cooking and various menus according to the season. In this day and age, you can search for anything on the web, but it's also a good time to slowly browse a cookbook. Thank you.
