Lucky old you ;~) "Sampson, Emma (Speed), 1868-1947. Miss Minerva's Cook Book. Chicago: Reilly and Lee, 1931. 1st ed. frontis, ills, 280p. Hardcover. dj. 21cm. Jacket bright but has moderate chipping & wear along edges (including a fairly large chip at the base of the backstrip) and some wrinkling & wear along folds. Sampson wrote a series of Miss Minerva novels for children. The stories include some African-American characters. This cookbook seems much scarcer than the other books in the series and is quite uncommon in a jacket. 950.00" Lovejoy

I would be interested to know if you sold it and what it went for. I picked up one today at the estate sale of an antiques dealer and it too is in excellent condition with only the dust cover showing wear.
