re: Just Got My Hands on a Hard-to-find Local Cookbook!

What is your most coveted cookbook?
I already own it.
In the 60s my father and his father were fishing down off Blood River. My dad said they got back to the landing, and while he was loading stuff in the truck he noticed my grandfather talking for a while with a man holding a notebook. They talked for about 10 minutes before my grandfather got back into the truck and headed home. The man told my grandfather he was about to come out with his first cookbook soon and wanted to know if he was interested in receiving a copy. Grandfather gave the man his name and address, along with an alligator snapping turtle they caught that day. Several months later a package came in the mail. Inside the front cover it read "To the Tenfoe family, thank you for the turtle, God Bless. - Justin Wilson"
When my grandmother died I took the cookbook. Front cover was gone by this time. It's Justin Wilson, so it's not like an original signed Johnny Cash album, more like an original signed Luke Bryan album, but special to me nonetheless.

great story
it's a book that means nothing to anyone but me, but my grandmother is a very good cook, and particularly skillful at making candies. Several years ago, I asked if I could have her recipes, but that I'd like them written in a book, because she has beautiful handwriting. After many months, she had added all the recipes she thought I'd like and gave it to me.
