Magnolia Table, Volume 2: A Collection of Recipes for Gathering

This is the second time I ordered this book and it arrived dirty again like the first time. Book wasn’t sealed and it has marks on it. Only reason I’ve kept it is because I’m tired of returning then ordering again and also this time the pages came straight unlike last time they were wavy.
