when I quit smoking in the 80's I started collecting cookbooks. Around 2004-5 I sold them on ebay, I had 4 three foot stacks of them
Did keep a few favorites though ranging from 1880s to 1940s (top shelf)
From my cooking days on lower shelves 1970s-2000ish (pour on the butter and cream) to slim cooking to bread making.
I'd never buy a cookbook now, web is clogged with recipes.
In my collecting days they set on the nightstand for reading just like other books.
