SC - building a feast library

[Decker, Terry D.]

> How would one go about building a decent recipie library?

I  make no claims for The Food Heritage Press.  This is list is cribbed from
their current online booklist and is meant to let you see a partial list of
currently available cookbooks and books on food history.  I've found some of
these books discounted at Borders and Barnes & Noble.  Amazon.com has some
of them at a discount.  Cindy Renfrow posts to this list and can tell you
how to order her books.  For books you can't afford or of which you don't
want a copy, take the information to your local library and see if they can
get it through inter-library loan.

Happy Book Hunting,

Bear
