Yes, Evelyn, this cookbook has signed recipes...tellng history of the recipe...it is a very nive gift idea, a lot of folks collect cookbooks. I had about fifty one time, my husband built a special shelf for them, in my breakfast room.I hope I will be able to have some of our books, at my annual Willis family reunion, at Clanton Ball Park Club Room, July 11, on Saturday. And they hopefully will be ready for the PeachJam in June. You can save 3.00 per book by picking it up, saving the postage. The Clanton newspapers have been very generous with printing news about the Cemetery work. Kat and Jeff and Dennis, did my family cemetery, "The Old Ellison Cemetery" out from Clanton. Did a great job, with military stones, and a full dedication...with a gun salute, cannon and the whole bit. We are very grateful. Thanks for your letter. Stella
