I also got the T-L world books as they came out. I just hope I
still have all of them! I see your collecting pedigree matches
mine (meaning we both started when we were mere kids!). At the
time, I didn't think the Good Cook series was of interest to me.
After all, I had been cooking for a LONG time, so I thought I knew
everything I wanted to know. I think eventually I'll be able to
get all of them. I carted around a list for a while and then
stopped looking. I should resume the hunt.
