6.75 x 8 x 1"; 60 pages. All paper used for this book was handmade by the printer using a blend of cotton and abaca fibers.

Annie Herlocker: "This cookbook explores the uniqueness and growing presence of small farms in Alabama. Three Alabama farms contributed a total of 24 homegrown recipes to this culinary text. My goal when making this text was to produce a finely crafted book using precious materials that could also be used as a practical tool in the kitchen, without worry of dirtying the pages. It is precisely the visible use of this book that will bring this book into its ideal state. Several blank 'notes' pages are included in the back of this book for taking notes or recording personal family recipes."
