Copies Of Old Cookbooks Now Available

Los Angeles Times

Many people have discovered the pleasures of collecting old cookbooks. In fact, so many people collect cookbooks these days that certain old titles have gotten incredibly scarce.

The solution is facsimile reprints - new editions that are like the originals in every way. Some include indexes, glossaries and commentaries that make them even more useful and interesting. Many are Southern, such as “The Virginia Housewife,” and “What Mrs. Fisher Knows About Old Southern Cooking” (the first black cookbook).

For a copy of the facsimile reprint catalog, send $1 to P.O. Box 163, Ipswich, Mass. 01938-0163.
