The Boston Cooking-School Cook Book

No contemporary book-club issue is documented. The reprint tells that matter are the facsimiles, which are common and are routinely offered as the 1896 book: the Weathervane/Crown "The Original Boston Cooking School Cook Book, 1896," the Ottenheimer issue, and the Dover 1997 "The Original 1896 Boston Cooking-School Cook Book" (ISBN 0-486-29697-5), an unabridged republication. All reproduce the 1896 title page, so the tell is the modern binding, modern paper, and the publisher's own imprint and ISBN on the verso — an 1896 title page inside a perfect-bound or modern cased volume is a facsimile.
