I received a preview copy of Bountiful Blessings Cookbook. The book is laid out nicely, and has excellent recipes, many of them easy. These are the recipes that I will always remember from church picnics. I appreciated that there were recipes that could be used with canning. The variety of appetizers, breads, salads, soups, casseroles, desserts, cookies, pies, cakes, candies, etc., were VERY impressive. I also liked that many of the recipes were easy, and included items that most households would have on hand anyway. The downfall of the book is that there are NO PICTURES. I would personally use this book, but I would never recommend it as a library purchase. Cookbooks without pictures will forever collect dust on library shelves. ( )
