Hahaaa! I have both the 1974 and most recent edition (1997) and cannot
resist comparing them when I'm looking up a recipe. I usually find
that recipes are not that much different, but if they are, I'll use my
best judgement and personal tastes, depending on what the differences
are. They really are wonderful books, no matter which edition you
have.
