Wear on the edges. Shipped the next business day! We own a small family book store and sell our extra books and media that have been on our shelfs for too long. Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: 1986 has a special meaning to me...that is the year my dad died. It has now been 21 years and you forget the special meals that were prepared back then. Well, this Southern Living 1986 has brought back many, many sweet memories. The recipes are still as flavorful as today's but it was more about family and sitting at the table together and not today's "on the run" meals. I am loving my SL 1986 cookbook! RebeccaO
