>Rob,  The preface says that there were two editions of this cookbook.  The 
>first being in 1925.  It describes the first as being bound in sealskin 
>leather, and only 100 copies, lined in moire (?) cloth.  Distributed to the 
>immediate family, and a few inscribed by the authors and presented to 
>friends.  It would be pretty cool to find one of those.
 >   The second edition has 160 pages of recipes, including meats, deserts, 
>appetizers, seafood, soups, salads, etc.  Literally from soups to Nutty 
>Spice Cake.  Very interesting.
>    In light of the recent postings of copyright protection, I hesitate to 
>post scans.  Paranoia? or prudence?
>Clark A. Sprague, RPT

With a 1925 publication date, it is more than likely that the book is now in the public domain, and entered the public domain before the current copyright law went into effect in the early 1970's. The disposition of the Wurlitzer family fortune is an interesting story in itself...
