Hello, fellow cooking enthusiasts!

I am compiling a collector's guide to old cookbooks,
cook booklets, and cooking pamphlets and would
like your help.

If you have any PRE-1920 cookbooks in your
collection and would like to assist me,
please e-mail me the following information:

1. Title
2. Author, if any is named
3. Publisher
4. Number of recipe pages
5. Condition (on the G-VG-FN scale)
6. Dust jacket, if any
7. The price you paid, IF you bought the book in a
retail or antique shop.

I'm looking to compile listings for just about
anything that contains recipes -- even old
almanacs -- as long as they were printed in the
United States. One exception is that I do not
want periodical magazines. The collector's guide
will include plenty of newer material, too, but as
you can imagine, newer books are much more plentiful.

Specific needs (scans desired):
a genuine first printing of the Boston Cooking School
CB (1896) by Fannie M. Farmer;
any earlier Boston Cooking School books;
1887 edition of the White House Cook Book with no other
copyrights listed.

Later, I'll be looking for scans of other (newer)
cookbooks.

So far, I have plenty of time, but please provide a list
soon if you're able. Write to me directly at
or post here. This is a time for
you to share your collection with others.

Thank you!

Frank
