I never buy first printing cookbooks because it seems there are always errata which are corrected in subsequent runs. However, since Ms. Howard’s recipes interest me, I read the Amazon reviews for Deep Run Roots. Several point out that it’s a very heavy book, with pale print, and photos that seem flat/drab. It is chaptered by focal ingredient, e.g. muscadine grapes, rather than the category of dish. One of the reviews lists a couple of recipe titles from each chapter. They sound appealing, but personally, I would not buy this book sight unseen.
