My husband says very similar things about my cookbook collection. I collect
mostly the pamplet style ones. There isn't room in this apartment for the
bookcase big enough to hold the majority of the collection so most of them
are in the closet under the stairs and the favorites are in a small bookcase
in the dining area.

One of my favorites is called "The Silent Hostess" and came with new monitor
top refrigerators in the early 30s.
