The Great East Coast Seafood Book by Yvonne Young Tarr

It was my habit, years ago, to inscribe my name, the date I acquired a book, and where, on the inside flypaper. This one says "Eastern Shore MD, Eaton, March 1984", no name. I suspect it is because it is the last book I acquired before my name changed with marriage on that trip.

Packing away now as we declutter the house, preparing to put it on the market.
