Saturday we went to the Library Book Sale in our town. Teen got a few Star Trek books and a couple of old anime videos (vcr). Mister got the J. Vernon McGee Thru The Bible set for $7 (original list price $200). I found a lot of old-time goodies. Here are a few.
Poems by Eliza Cook. No date but most probably 1800's.
Our Village by Miss Mitford, 1870. (Always wanted to read this.)
Congress (Yeast Powder) Cook Book, 1894. (Love the red!)
A Calendar of Dinners with 613 Recipes including The Story of Crisco, 1913. Obviously put out by Crisco; I can't wait to read all about it!
These next two aren't old, but they're goodies!The Smithsonian Gardener's Journal, 1987.
And a trusty Martha Stewart Good Things from Tag Sales & Flea Markets. (I kept flipping this image around, but the 'flippin' thing' won't go straight up, so I finally left it sideways!)

What fabulous books! I have Our Village, it is a good read. xxxx
Fantastic book haul!
Please share the fascinating Crisco story as soon as you finish reading about it, LOL!!! Actually, I guess Crisco is a pretty big deal, otherwise we'd all be eating lard still...
Love the red cookbook. Last christmas, I followed the recipe for mince pies in a 1878 cookbook - to the letter! They tasted lovely! I should know, I ate them all!
Some really great books! Ruby
You found so beautiful books. I just love the bindings on old books. (I'm laughing about you saying "the flippin thing won't go up"-so cute!) laurie
