Learning

I am finding out that it is not easy to find the value of these old cookbooks. there are a couple good sites (they never seem to have the books i have) and i have found a couple of good books, with the bibliographies that should lead to more good books. i will post covers of books and see where it leads. if anyone has any info on where to find the value of old books (cookbooks in particular).

Here are a couple of covers from Michigan cookbooks by Carole Eberly.

i have information on these books, but i wanted to show them. i had so much fun looking through these and reading the recipes and the fun Michigan facts.
