Vintage Cookbooks
The Vintage Read has recently acquired several (over 500!) vintage cookbooks from a local estate. All are in wonderful condition. For the vintage cookbook collector, it's a dream. A number of these cookbooks are the great community or church-organized spiral-bound books that are such a great resource for fantastic, stand-the-test-of-time recipes--such wonderful comfort foods passed down from generation to generation. Here's just a sampling of what is currently available with MANY more to come.
