SC - McKendry & Horizon??

[Gerekr at aol.com]

Hello All...

Opinions please...

Being limited to a fixed space for cookbooks, and recently having added a 
number of much more recent, authenticity-oriented titles, I was wondering 
if I'd be losing much, besides the illustrations, if I let go of Maxime 
McKendry's Seven Centuries Cookbook (1973) and the 2-volume Horizon 
Cookbook (1968).  

These are AW-fully old; they were among my first acquisitions in this 
field ca. 20 years ago.  While the 7 centuries does give the original 
text of every recipe, with a credit line for the source document, the 
author's vita don't seem like much ("fashion designer and consulting food 
editor to Vogue")!  The Horizon recipe volume does NOT reference the 
originals, or provide the original text, and is divided by recipe type 
instead of by period (the historical volume at least proceeds 
chronologically).  

Heee-yelp, pliz!
