I love the receipe book - that's why I wanted another one - to share with a family member. When I received the book it was in shrink wrap. When I opened it, it smelled old and musty. I still have it in a ziplock with dryer sheets trying to get rid of the musty smell. I've only kept it because I had trouble locating it, and didn't feel that I would have another chance to get another one.Product - great; condition - poor.
