The cookbook has a color cover and inside are color artist renderings or photos. It measures about 6 1/4 inches tall and about 4 inches wide. It has 64 numbered pages. It has smudges that I think will clean up with a good eraser but I will leave that to the purchaser to attempt. It has no tears. The binding is staples and they are tight and not rusty. It has been in a smoke free environment. We must collect 6% pennsylvania Sales and Use Tax at checkout. Thanks for stopping by!
