Author of the 
October’s Free Cookbook Preview…
Google Books has been gradually placing the full text of thousands of books online, many of them free full previews of culinary books that are either out-of-print or have been added online with the permission of their publishers.
One of the former gems we’ve recently stumbled upon is The White House Cook Book, a 521 page book of interesting recipes edited by Fanny Lemira Gillette which was published in 1889.
The book was published towards the end of Grover Cleveland’s first presidency (he would go on to serve 2 non-consecutive terms) and the beginning of Benjamin Harrison’s.
You can read the whole book for free on Google Books here…enjoy!
