Oh yeah.....my collection of recipe books is only surpassed by my collection of quilt books, painting (tole and oil) books, stained glass books and then crocheting books :mrgreen: :mrgreen: And I LOVE the recipe books from the good old days when they used LARD!!!!!! But I DO buy new ones, too. I really like the ones for $1.00 at Joann's!!! Have had many compliments on my cooking when I've made recipes from them!
