Now this is something up my alley! I have at least 1,000 cookbooks. I used to have one with recipes from Mary Lincoln but my ex MIL took it when her son left!

I have lots of vintage, some of which I still use.
The 1963 Betty Crocker cooky book, it still comes out for use.
A 70's Betty cook book
A 60's Mike Douglas
70's Better Homes & Gardens. assorted

I have a ton of the Pillsbury bake off little paperback books
Many regional cookbooks, even from Australia

I have a Readers Digest Creative Cooking which is great. It has recipes for every season and tells you what's in season. It has pictures of lots of fruits and veggies.

I also have a mass collection of HP books, most from the 70's and 80's. Do they even still publish books?

Most recipes are just a guideline for me, unless I'm trying something completely new. Sometimes I peruse them just to get new ideas for flavors or for a new idea.

My grandma gave me a subscription to Quick Cooking for many years so I have a lot of those laying around.
I don't even want to talk about the old Bon Appetite and Choclatier magazines in the garage! Of course I have'nt seen them for years so they shouldn't count, right
