The real treasure though, is a mildly tattered and stained 1964
printing of Joy of Cooking. I needed help to find it, because it is
a pale green and i was looking for white and red. It was also in the
wrong section, but the elderly bookstore lady knew precisely where it
was when I said "I was looking for Joy of Cooking". She seemed
intrigued that I was checking to see what edition it was. She also
pulled out an immaculate 1973 reprint of the same edition, but I
chose the 1964 printing over it. The 1973 looked like it belonged in
a bookstore, this one looked like it belonged in a kitchen. Surely
this will be one of the best $5.98s i've spent in awhile.

Truly a book one can sit down and read like a good novel. I've never
seen one as old as yours, but I hope it is as wonderful as my 1975
edition. Happy reading and cooking!


I have teh 1964 edition, too, and really enjoy it.

So do I. It tells us how ancient we are. I also rely on the 1961 edition
of the Larousse Gastronomique, and Julia Child's Vol I and Vol II
published in the sixties. Let's hear it for geezer power.

I have those very same books, too, Kent. Geezers Unite!
