Featured Anyone ever see this 1905 2" Chunky Book of Sandwiches, Salads, Chafing Dishes, and Cocktails

Can't find any like this. Anyone have any information on these? Only 2" big.

TIA, Bryan

 

Here's another copy. Keep in mind $1,000 is asking price, not sales price. And condition affects value.

(And don't you love the fact book seller is selling a volume in the four-figures AND charging for shipping?)

There are other older results for less.

A bookseller friend of mine once told me that old books on mixing cocktails often are collectible and can be sold for some money. I know nothing about it personally, though.

The cover on yours looks more battered than the ones in the other links people have posted.

 

There can be value in miniature books as well.

When I started searching for others like this, I was shocked to find that "chunky books" are a "thing."

 

Looks like these chunky books can be worth a "chunk."

 

Right you are on the cocktail books, Fig. Good tip.

Wow, I had not actually looked. Just repeating what my friend told me.
