I have two boxes of old cookbooks I inherited from my mother. Moving out of state and would like to see them go to a new owner. Pickup at my house between Memorial Park and Downtown Houston. Requested requirements:

1. You truly collect cookbooks and are not taking them for resale. If you do not want certain ones, please pass to a similar collector.

2. You make a donation to the Houston Food Bank. The amount is up to you.

Samples:

If you'd be willing to ship them to FL I'd make a really nice donation to the houston food bank (and pay for shipping)

To whoever winds up with this one,



be careful. This book is full of made-up stories and recipes. For example, there's a recipe for the Virgin Mary's Creamed Spinach.

You could look into donating the lot to a food museum like the Southern Food and Beverage Museum in New Orleans.

Man, i wish I was close.

George Herter was an interesting man. I have a book by him on making wine. Very interesting. I also have a copy of his 1970 catalogue. I still use one of his single stage reloaders.

I do have a friend in Huston who may be able to meet up to grab and hold them till the next time he comes to town.

How soon do you need them picked up?

Keep the Vincent Price Cookbook. That is one of the best, with recipes from restaurants around the world. Was one of my mother's favorites.
