I would love to give this five stars however...many of the tables had the last column completely cut off or half cut off and the info in those columns is crucial. As for the book being very old, it is, probably one hundred years I'd bet but the information about canning hasn't changed really except that we now have better and safer equipment. The recipes are priceless, some I would venture to bet haven't been widely used since the thirties or forties. A few are for very large quantities but if you use your head you can easily pare them down to the size you need but it does help if you know something about canning to begin with. I did a lot of canning with my Mom as a teen so it's not rocket science to me although it would probably be a bit confusing for a complete beginner.
