LOL, ama a compulsive "collector" and have downloaded dozens of them and read parts of all of them. It's a terrif window on the past when for sure, things were vastly different.
Also there are some significant cookbooks in the collection like the original Delmonico's in New York, by Chef Frank ranhofer.

I found one church one from the late 1890's that is from a small town not too far from where I grew up! How cool is that?!?!?!

Ah! We had a ID-10T problem on this end. I was insisting on calling them "cookbook"s, one word!

Thanks!
