I've had this two-volume set for over 60 years, and they are like old friends. With lovely legible print, a vast storehouse of recipes, a useful glossary, and cooking tables, it's everything a cookbook should be. There are no colored photographs, but the black and white ones are more than adequate. It's a joy reading and referring to a cookbook of this caliber. ( )

Comprehensive, older cookbook, two volumes. Has a good index. Used by my Mother for many, many years, and she had re-covered it in shelf paper to keep it from falling apart. A treasured item... ( )

Invaluable. Goes with Joy of...and Lily Wallace's New American ( )

1st pub 1947. Still popular collectible. ( )
