Post anything you find here to point me to it, also. I have in the area
of 300+ cookbooks, including some personal treasures; almost every
revision of JoC, box set of Mastering the Art of French Cooking,
LaRousse Gastronomique and the complete Encyclopedia of Cookery (these
all have family oriented connections behind them, thus the personal
treasure status).

I'm kind of finicky, I look over a book before I buy it, and if it
doesn't appeal to me, I pass. I also don't buy new, strictly used. Got
many books for 25 cents or less. Although I rarely actually use any
recipes, per se, I frequently browse them for inspiration.
