Come shop with me! Also - after I uploaded this video, I realized that I definitely said the name of one of the Betty Crocker books incorrectly. It's supposed to be Betty Crocker's Basic Bakings. If you have any additional info on any of these books or you have them your collection, I'd love to hear about it!
The Boxcar children cookbook was from the boxcar children book series. It was a little similar to the little house on the prairie, but it was a little later in time.
I love old cookbooks and kitchenware. My inlaws downsized and we bought their old house and my collection has grown tremendously. They left tons of stuff behind because they didn't have room for it and didn't want to go through it. My husband wanted to put it all in the driveway and have a big yard sale. I said no way! The oldest cookbook I've found belonged to his great-grandmother from 1890 and it is falling apart but it is called "Cookery & Reliable Recipes". Inside the front cover it says "Glad tidings for every housewife" by Mrs. E.C. Blakeslee. It is truly a treasure. I used to go to thrift stores searching like you before I moved here. Once I finally finish going through it all I will probably start my thrift shopping again. That's if I have any room left. lol
Great video and you didn't even make me seasick! Most shopping/home tour etc. videos do. 😕 Potpourri Press, you could have knocked me over with a feather as I've been collecting Potpourri Press mugs for years now! They make wonderful tea (or coffee) mugs as they have a tiny, tiny lip that prevents the liquid from leaking over the rim as you drink. Love you and love your videos!
I have a copy of the Betty Crocker Basic Bakings. When I took Home Economics in High School in the 70s, there were one topic booklets on baking we received in class. This book is a computation of those. The book lists some specific analysis (what's good/what went wrong) of the bakes which my teacher used to grade our work such as "didn't rise," "too crumbly," etc.
Hi Anna, this is Esther from Wisconsin. I love your cookbook videos and that you took us shopping for some books, but honey you need to slow down while walking through the store. I got dizzy watching ! lol. Loooking forward to more videos. Hugs.
Hello friend nice to see you again. So many nice shops with books and so many Cook Books! Thanks for posting this wonderful video and I hope you stay safe outside.
Grew up in San Diego and looovved going to St Vincent DePaul as a kid with my Dad! Especially in 70s, such great finds - I still have a handmade, embroidered Mexican caftan I bought there in 82
I was DROOOOOOLING during those first three minutes of the episode. LOL I'm ALL about that casserole book and I love the "notepad" formatting :) Green is my favorite color too! Great finds and I couldn't agree more with the double-wire binding... it's almost always a winner!
It was a VERY good shopping day. I usually go to SVDP on weekdays, and fully expected it to be packed on a Saturday. I was pleasantly surprised to find it pretty empty and incredibly well stocked with books for me to snap up!
I had *so* much to comment on in this video (I loved it) but what I wanted to mention was “the nineteen hundreds”! I am tech support for a large cable company and when customers ask me what are on certain channels like Turner Classic Movies or FETV I tell them “oh it’s programming from the mid-to-later nineteen hundreds” I could probably say “shows from the 40s-80s”; I dunno why I don’t, but it tickles some people to hear the years they were born/grew up in as “the nineteen hundreds” as if we were talking about antiquity 😂
Hi sweet lady. You are my shout out channel this week😻👍.I also want to start shopping for vintage character glasses inside thrift stores. Lol. I’m a bit nervous too. You did great & what a cool book. The bright colors, give away the age. Lol. Good job⭐
@@texadonkey34 I didn't ask on these particular trips, just filmed discreetly with my phone. There's a cookbook store in San Francisco that I want to visit soon and get some footage. I do plan to ask before filming there, becuase it's a small independent shop.
It’s hard filming in stores I like to do more of that but I seem to chicken out lol. I love cheese too lol. Nice 1940s . Photo is nice. Oh neat recipe cards still intact .so glad you found a Betty Crocker book. Love the dinner for two I actually like to do a series on something like that. So many great finds Anna!!
Oh my gosh, I am dangerously close to filling it up! I had to move all of my more 'modern' cookbooks to a different location to make room for more vintage ones! 😂
Hi Anna! 😊 Great job filming inside the shop! I have the hardest time doing that as well. You found some great books! I love your bookshelf that you keep your books on. The shelf I keep my books and magazines on is really full and I need to upgrade. I need to just turn my guest room into my space and line it with shelves 😂 Great video as always! Tell Dottie that Sadie says hello ♥️🐾🐾♥️
I'm getting better! It helps when the shops aren't very crowded. I think my bookshelf is from Wayfair. It's held up well so far. I will relay Sadie's 'hello' to Dottie! 🐶
I have a huge collection too - over 2000 at this point. My favorites are the ones I inherited from my mom and I also collect books on spicy food, I have almost the Whole Foods of the World TIME/LIFE set, and I love the books from the first few years of food network (two shot tamales, for one.)
Oh my gosh, your collection sounds amazing! I cherish the books from my grandma and mom, so I can totally relate to those being your favorites. I have a couple of the Foods of the World books in my collection but haven't tried cooking from them yet. Thanks for watching! ❤
I loved this video! Anna you found some really good cookbooks, very interesting. I thrift for books at least once a month. I tend to look for really old cookbooks from the 50’s on back but I do like to find newer ones, as well as vintage 60’s, 70’s. I like to find the ones with the metal binders too!
Right? I think The Joy of Cooking is one of those books that ends up being given as a gift quite a bit...maybe even to people who don't find joy in cooking!
I'm so jealous! Those look like great stores. You got some great finds and as soon as I saw the title Tofu Goes West I had to run to Ebay to buy it! You just can't pass up a title that great!
I feel so lucky to have found a few good cookbook sources here! As for Tofu Goes West, there are so many tasty looking recipes in it that I'm having trouble deciding which one to start with. 😄
Hi Anna, I know this has been a year since you posted this cookbook haul, but I was curious about the book Old Original Bookbinders Restaurant Cookbook. The picture of the woman on the back looks like the author of a cookbook I picked up last week at an indoor flea market. Could you tell me her name on that Bookbinders Book? Thanks for the great videos, and since I am new to your channel and have been watching them my vintage cookbook collection has grown!🥰

I have that ATK cookbook, I believe it's the one they put out before Christopher Kimball left. It's incredible!
The Boxcar children cookbook was from the boxcar children book series. It was a little similar to the little house on the prairie, but it was a little later in time.
I was so hoping she bought that one!
Such great cookbooks! It sometimes seems painstaking to find good vintage cookbooks, but I suppose it makes those finds that much more special 😊
Finding books can be hit or miss, but I do like the challenge! 😀

They are all beautiful books. There are many recipes that are about to be forgotten. Thank you for sharing your hard work my friend..
Thank you so much!

Such fabulous finds/ that cheese one- holy cow!!!!! I think I’d be most excited about the casserole one one!!!!!
I picked up your Fluff cookbook on the same day! It was a very good shopping trip. 😄
@@cooking_the_books sweet- that is the perfect day!!! I want to make fluffernutter pie!!!!
Good finds. I have quite a few new ones also. Can wait to see the bakes you come up with.
Thank you! This was a pretty rewarding shopping trip. I'm really excited about what I brought home with me!
the book is many times and looks neatly arranged
Thanks for watching!
That chicken book is cool. I mean how could you not love a chicken with sunglasses. Awesome finds! -S
I just couldn't leave it behind. The color and the illustrations really got me!
Yay!! Cookbook haul🥳😻 I'm glad you got the crepes book. that would have caught my attention too💚
I just couldn't leave it behind!
@@cooking_the_books I'm glad you went back for it!

@@cooking_the_books I’m thinking about it. There is a store, with so many cool glasses. Did you ask, before you went in?

Lol fill up that book shelf Anna. Love it.

Really great presentation
Glad you liked it!
Another fun video!
What a good haul!! The little books seem like an extra good find since they are so slim
Half Price Books is kind of like an Easter Egg Hunt in that way. 😄
Hi Anna! 😊 Great job filming inside the shop! I have the hardest time doing that as well. You found some great books! I love your bookshelf that you keep your books on.

I do love the pre 1950s books even though I haven't cooked from them on my channel. I'm thinking of doing a video about my oldest cookbooks.
Looks like joy of cooking did not "spark joy" for some people 😆 kraft cheese book looks fun. 🧀

Crepes and flames!
