I have a collection of Betty Crocker cookbooks. I use the 1960's
version the most since it is the one I bought first (in the 60's.) I
even have a 1950 bound version with a dust jacket.

I do not think that Mother had a cookbook except one that was put out
by the local Woman's Club. She had some recipes, but no name
cookbook.
