Cookbooks – How Many Do You Own? (Part 1)

[BigDuck]

I have 150, but am totally put to shame by those of you over 1000. I will do my very best to catch up!

[JSD]

So are we all members of The Good Cook Club?

Some of my most interesting cookbooks I've picked up at used bookstores, garage sales, or the library's annual sale.

Sure!

who needs books when you have egullet?

i guess i probably have about 50. i'd guess that i'm made recipes from only about 10% of those.

[Belmont3]

I can add a signed Andre Soltner Letuce Cook Book to the collection, as of this weekend

Tommy, you are right in every way. But a new cookbook is a new world.

Or, at least, pretty.

[indiagirl]

Oh, well, since you've brought that up -- do we get bonus points for signed books?

24, 410.

Sorry, JAZ. I wish I'd thought about bonus points to make it more interesting!

Too late now. But I am jealous.

[indiagirl]

+3 for me, maggiethecat

:)

[torakris]

and another 3 for me as well!

[Suzanne F]

I just ordered 2 more

[JAZ]

Two more here.

[maggiethecat]

That's 24, 418. I've been converting the totals into miles. I wonder how many tons? Hmmmm.

[indiagirl]

i've ordered three more but they're not here yet

this thread is bringing to the surface an untapped addiction in my personality!

in combination with the favorite cookbooks thread it may prove to be lethal to my finances.

no matter, circumnavigating the globe, making it to the moon are far more important.

if it's good enough for jfk and jules verne, it's good enough for me.

Dear Indiagirl:

Even though you are still waiting impatiently for your books, I'll add them now. 24,421.

And you're right. It's an addiction. But one that can be so easily rationalized!

I actually got up from the computer and counted. 47. Plus 10 signed copies of my ex-husband's cookbook, which I give as teacher's gifts. They shouldn't count, I think.
