    Thumbs up Cookbooks Hurray!

    Whenever the boss want's something donated to Goodwill, he brings it to me to itemize and then take it over to Goodwill. The understanding is that I get whatever I want first - but only for myself to keep, not resale or anything.

    Today's haul was 2 large bags of cookbooks. I will only keep part of them but this was what was in the bag:

    Hardback -

    George Foreman's - Grilling Recipes
    Joy of Cooking
    BH&G - Vegetarian Recipes
    Betty Crocker Cookbook
    Southern Living 1983 Christmas
    Southern Living 1979 Annual Recipes
    Southern Living 1980 Annual Recipes
    Southern Living 1983 Annual Recipes
    Southern Living 1918 Annual Recipes
    Southern Living 1984 Christmas
    Southern Living 1985 Christmas

    Softcover

    What's Cooking (by a local church)
    Occassionally Vegeterian
    Birds Eye Vegetables
    Rival Crockpot Cookbook
    Betty Crocker One Dish Meals
    Pillsbury - Dinner in No time
    Pillsbury - Holiday Recipes
    Birds Eye - Dinner Made Easy
    Soups
    Taste of Home June 2001 Issue
    Taste of Home - Home Style Suppers
    Bon Appetit - Feb, April and May 2001

    Now the hard part. I can only keep some, not all. Of course I can spend a few days looking through all of them first.

    Hard to choose between all those though! I personally love the Southern Living ones.

    What fun! I love cookbooks, they are so fun to browse through and decide what lovely dishes to cook.

    Maybe you could buy most of them at the cost of what your boss would get the tax wriite-off for. The (hardbacks) southern living books usually go for between $1.00 and $2.00 here. The softbacks are usually $1.00 to .25 cents, full size books are the dollar ones and the little ones a quarter.

    I'm not complete sure yet, but I have pulled out several of the Southern Living annual ones, the Betty Crocker one, and the Taste of Home ones. I like cookbooks with good pictures so the Joy of Cooking was not for me even though it has a lot of information. I can keep as many as I want as long as something goes to Goodwill. So technically I could donate some old books of mine in place of all the cookbooks and the boss would be fine. He donates so much every year that he can't keep it straight anyway.

    I am a cookbook fiend. I have way too many and so have started selling them off or donating them to my library. That said, I LOVE the Southern Living books. They are so *readable.* I only have two, and am jealous....
