This is Volume I and it was sold during the inaugural season. (Maybe someone can help with this?)
The CBJ foundation teamed with Max and Erma's to sell this cookbook for $30 in their restaurants and, I guess, at games. It has a stiff back cover which folds to let the book stand up, as seen in the photos. There are tabs for the different sections: Foundation, Recipes, Scrapbook and Your Team. Of interest are the ingredients for 'ownership' and the note about the foundation and their goal to grow youth hockey in Columbus. As we see now, youth hockey and leagues are present where little to none existed before.
I can't say if this is the first thing the CBJ foundation put out to raise funds, but it is certainly among the earliest.More photos follow...
Thank you, John, for sharing this piece with the world!
I just did a search for this cookbook and came across this post. I worked at the arena their inaugural year and have one of these cookbooks. Not sure how popular they were, but they were unique.
