Here are 2 vintage fundraiser cookbooks issued by department stores Kmart and J. C. Penney. Printed in the U.S.A.

I have placed a ruler in some pictures for size reference.

- "Kmart Loves To Cook!": Kmart Loves Kids! Proceeds to benefit the Children's Miracle Network at Hershey Children's and Geisinger Children's Hospitals. Contains recipes submitted by Kmart employees, their families and friends. Copyright 1978 by Fundcraft Publishing. Looks like this was a 1996 edition. Red plastic spiral bound softcover, has 181+ pages.

- "A Cause For Celebration - Holiday recipes for every occasion": 1996 JCPenney Associate Cookbook, National Edition. Copyright 1996. Printed by Cookbooks by Morris Press. Hardcover 3-ring metal binder, has 610+ pages.

I fanned through each cookbook. Very good used condition, with light handling wear and aging overall. Pages are crisp and clean. Hard to tell if the JC Penney cookbook was ever used. The Kmart cookbook has several extra handwritten recipes and notations here and there, and it is missing some of the manufacturer brand coupons that were included at the back. The Kmart cookbook has more wear at the cover tips, and at least three of the red plastic spirals are cracked / broken. Both cookbooks have the original store price sticker on the back cover. It's possible I overlooked something while fanning through. Each cover has been wiped down. No musty or smoke odor.

Please note: items will not be split for individual sale.
