- Notes:
- "This book is bound with an authentic reproduction of one of the patterns of old Amana blue cotton prints. This material which was used for mostly all of the women's everyday dresses and aprons was bought of the bolt, dyed an indigo blue and run through a machine which bleached out the different unique patterns."
- "The sketches inside the covers represent scenes from typical Amana community kitchens - the brick hearth on which all the cooking was done, the long wooden sink ... and the sundry other large-size equipment needed to prepare the food carried home in a special basket called 'Essenkorb'".
