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 got my 1975 Edition as a teenager in 1979... I hope I'm not geezer
material yet?? worries

Did no one tell you that if you're not a teenager, you're a geezer?

Heheh, never trust anyone under 30

1962 JOC here. Bought it about a month ago.

I ran across a '64 JOC in a thrift shop. I like the 60s
JOCs. They have the en papillote instructions. I think I'll
go back and buy it. Can never have too many JOCs.

My daughter decamped with "The People's Republic of China
Cookbook" by Nobuko Sakamoto but I was able to buy a copy in
almost new condition for $10 via Amazon. My wife liked the
original copy so much that she used to xerox the recipes she
liked and use the copies instead of the original book.

Check here next time:

That could be useful but Amazon had quite a range of prices
depending on condition, some much lower than what I paid but I
wanted as good condition as possible. Also, I have a working
relation with Amazon as a safe way to pay even if books come
from other sources.

The real treasure though, is a mildly tattered and stained 1964

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!

Same here. I'm rather partial to that edition.

seems like a lot of people here like the early j.o.c.'s. i have the
paperback edition from 1973, taped together and missing the covers.
phaeton will dig it, i am sure.

You do have a treasure, indeed.

This past weekend I picked up a "New York Times Cookbook" by Craig
Claiborne at a rummage sale for $1. It is in pristine condition, with
white pages, even though it is dated 1961. The recipes are wonderful.
