I need this book:


I went to the Puyallup Fair today and besides the delicious scones (the best fair snack for only $1.50, with butter and jam), the best surprise of the day was the Charley Harper exhibit on display at the pavilion. The show featured a number of original paintings and serigraphs that I have never seen before in person. And although I feel like I should have known this, or I must have forgotten this information like I do with most things, Harper also did illustrations for Betty Crocker’s Dinner for Two Cookbook printed in 1958. Please don’t judge this book by the cover shown above! I’m not sure if the following image is a title page in the first edition (most likely) or perhaps an alternate book cover or jacket, but this is why I NEED this book:
