I have two Betty Crockers - one published in the 1970's and one I *did* buy
on eBay a couple of years ago, published around 1950, the old 3-ring binder
form. My mom used that book as her cooking bible; I couldn't believe it
when she told me she'd thrown it out! "But it was dog-eared and the pages
were torn out!" Uh, but they sell these little round sticky things you can
use to secure the torn holes in the pages. Too late, the book was already
gone. But now I have one of my own
