First of all I was so happy to find it on E-Bay. My 92 year old Mom had the paperback version and through the years the book was really worn and tattered. So it was bought as a replacement. What we both loved about the book is Pearl's writing so down to earth and her recipes are so so good. I can't think of anything that we didn't like, it was funny, very interesting, and obviously a great cook book. Not only did she include her family recipes but also some of famous Movie Stars. I think the thing that made me most happy about buying this was to see my Mom reading it, then stopping and telling me some funny thing she just read, or some great recipe that we must make. This will be a book that I will read and cherish when the time comes that it is passed on to me. I don't know that much about Pearl Bailey, other than a great singer, and now a great cook and author. If she is still with us God Bless her for making my Mom so happy.Read full review

I collect cookbooks and my husband collects vinyl, I had an unsigned Pearl Bailey...so when this came up, I bought it and put it on the shelf with my husbands record.....wala, a set!!! Actually, I've done the same with a lot of his records for the artists that have cookbooks out:Anita Bryant, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Buffet, Kate Smith, Croce, and several others...just fun to do!
