[Sca-cooks] Cookbook Collection Going to Penn

[Johnna Holloway]

I was thinking that they should have mentioned Aresty too.
Then I thought maybe the article was just mentioning the recent additions.

Or maybe how soon they forget?
Her books were donated in 1996.

Or maybe her collection is too small--
"Mrs. Aresty's collection of cookbooks spans five centuries and 
represents most of the world's cultures. It includes 576 book and 13 
manuscript titles."
