I just got a stack of books for $10 via Gumtree and am wading through them. I bought them because I was only after one book, but some of the others are really good as well. Unexpected bonuses! One is a book by former First Ladies and Governers' wives and describes their favourites when entertaining. I'm in Australia by the way and am quite surprised at how I got hold of such a thing. Also, I love me some Southern Living! I have a Southern Living cookies cookbook after spending a few years in the US, and there are great recipes in it which no one around here knows about (must make some soon lol). Very envious of your haul, writer lady.writerlady1904 wrote: ↑19 Jun 2018, 21:50 I love collecting old cookbooks and have a collection of about 40 or so. My most used ones have recipes from the 1800's or later. I have a few that have exotic recipes like a southern cook book that actually tells me several ways to prepare opossum, racoons and other vermin. Needles to say, I don't cook from those, but they are fun to look through. A few years ago a public library actually sat an entire collection of old Southern Living cookbooks out by their door with a FREE sign. Husband was not happy carrying THAT box out to the car lol
There are lots of modern, inventive and unusual recipes online but I love physical cookbooks to browse through and drool over the pictures. They inspire me to cook. I don't always enjoy the routine of cooking but a special dish is always nice.
On another note, my mother in law treasures her copy of The Complete Asian Cookbook by Charmaine Solomon. Not just because it's a really good book with tried and tested recipes and secondly, it belonged to her eldest son who used it regularly before he was killed in a freak car accident (nearly 30 years ago). It's a link to him.

My book club does a few cookbook meetings a year. We choose a cookbook and then everyone makes something from that cookbook. Since we formed as an offshoot of a running club, we tend to choose healthier ones or books written by runners.
