Default Recent pleasing finds

1. The Cook's Oracle, 1822 ed., by William Kitchiner. For less
than 1/8th of what I would expect to pay at THE used book store in
Boston.

2. The Brown Derby Cook Book. Not the relatively recent reprint.
(And I was not pleased to see that the vast majority of hits on
google are for COOKBOOK done as one word. People are so sloppy.)

3. The booklet for the 1st Pillsbury Bake-Off. I suppose you
have to be into cookbooks and cookbooklets to be excited about
these things.
