I got my first copy in 1973 I was still at secondary school my Gran bought it for me unfortunately it was in French a language a 13 year old boy in Scotland wasn't fluent in, I purchased an English copy a year later and still have and read it to this day it was described to me as the "Culinary Bible" can't say I disagree too much( apart from a dislike for the word bible and it's connotations).
