Ha! I have the 1965 and the 1978 versions, thanks to my mother and
grandmother, and I do like the recipes there. I have no plans to buy
the latest version (what is it, 2002?) as all I've heard is that the
recipes are flavor free, anathema to my definition of the joy of
cooking.

Oh, the newest one has some good stuff in it, but I do tend to favor the
older revs more. As I noted elsewhere, the 2k2 rev was a gift. I also
forgot to previously note that I also have the Mac confusible - er -
compatible JoC CD-ROM. JoC is the only cookbook for which I decided I
would like to have each revision of. B Crocker, BH&G, no. Now that
isn't to say I would not like more than one copy of some of these
others, I just don't want all versions.
