I'm not a "collector" in that I don't go out and actively seek cookbooks. I
do appreciate cookbooks. And the older ones are especially fun. I have as
much fun reading old recipe cards and folded pieces of paper with jotted
down recipes on them. I am always interested in cookbook threads.

I'm not, however, trying to cook my way through 1000+ cookbooks. I enjoy
reading them, but I don't feel I have to make something from every single
one of them.
