Hi Buck, prices vary with market demand and conditions of the item — you can check ABE and eBay for an idea of prices.

I have just found a Hollywood glamour cook book, for health and beauty by mariposa. Copyright 1940, and has the same pic. and signature that you show. No use to me. Does anyone know how much it is worth.

Hi Deanna,
Just amazing! I have been trying to find out about Mariposa for ages. I also have her book and pretty much came up with the same info as you finally settling on the fact her last name was Hayes. I only have one more thing to add but don’t get too excited, my book is inscribed To Floyd R. Blume who’se sweeter far-than any Health Food Candy Bar!!! Maripose. She also has a little star under her signature. I believe Blume may have been a resident of PA. I can tell you more about how I got this book if you want to email me. GREAT work!

You think you’re left hanging — you haven’t spend days searching I’m hoping someone with knowledge finds this and throws this dog a bone.
