PrintOnline Historic Cookbooks
Hello everyone; it seems from my lurking here that there is some interest in vintage cookbooks (at least, from Lilartist there is some interest!). I have made up a list of over 500 freely available online historic cookbooks (from 14th century onwards) which you can download from http://www.mydatabus.com/public/TheOldFoodie/z/Online_Historic_Cookbooks3.pdf
The list keeps growing, and I add to it from time to time. Have fun with it.

(Just to let you know, Adobe Acrobat has this flaw when it comes to urls that span more than one line. It ignores everything after the carriage return, so many of the links in your pdf file are broken. Otherwise, this is great!)

Oh Dear. I knew my technical ineptness would let me down. I thought I was pretty clever even working out how to convert the spreadsheet into a pdf file. Does it still work if you cut and past the url?
If anyone would like the Excel spreadsheet I started with, please email me and I'll send it - that way you can make it dynamic and your own (I have a master list with all my other historic cookbooks - real, facsimile, whatever - included as well)

I have a pristine copy of the first Gourmet, complete with subscription card. Does anyone have any ideas as to where I might get it valued? I'm having a hard time with this one, much to my chagrin.

Awesome! I just joined a group on yahoo that translates 16 and 17the century manuscripts for cooking etc. This link will be great to look at as well! Thanks!

BaHa - any local antiques dealer will be able to tell you, or can find a value of it for you!

Lilartist, I'm looking for an expert in cooking ephemera; an antiques dealer has not got the expertise in this area. Thanks, though.

Well, no problem, just a thought. I have a local market. And several of the antiques dealers there either had information on such things, or have dealt with them in the past. Any good antiques dealer will know, or know how to get that information. I was able to get a value on my cookbooks from the 1800's from such a source.

Lilartist, you just gave me a great idea. The next time I am in Cold Spring, I will go to the antiques market there and see what they have to say. I was looking at places on the UES, but they are soooo specialist! Thanks!
