Other inconsistencies:

The position of punctuation relative to close parentheses is not consistent. In some cases, it is inside the parentheses (i.e. ;) or ,)) and in other cases it is outside the parentheses (i.e., ); or ),). This inconsistency has been maintained.

The position of the * and . in recipe numbers with * is inconsistent.

There is no fig. 5 in the section on carving.

Other changes:

The marketing tables for meat (pp. 355 and 356), poultry (pp. 357 and 358), and vegetables (pp. 358 and 359) were originally split between two pages because of their length. Each has been joined into a single table in this version of the book.
