Westminster, Maryland, U.S.A.: Bantam Books, 1994 Very Good slightly shop worn copy which has apparently never been used. 1231 pp 1994 There are a few creases on spine and the pages are yellowing. She is twice as thick at least as she was in the 1960's when we added her to our inexperienced somewhat bohemian household (may even have needed her to figure out how to make coffee). She certainly provided us with an excellent base, I think the next one was a Robert Carrier snob cookbook with duck a l'orange and the like. She was just fine. The other half of the world at that time learned from The Joy of Cooking, and it was fine too. I eventually had both of them. Either will teach you how to cook anything. (Somehow not a lot of us learned from our moms, and there are many reasons for that, which we will go into some other time).

Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1942 ex school library 1942 edition, later printing, no date ?1974, illustrated by Caldecott winner Virginia Lee Burton. You can still find books like this in thrift shops and at sales, but it's getting to be a while [30 to 60 years], particularly for children's books and library discards. One of the last in the great tradition of children's train books, this one is in very good minus condition, but it's gorgeous all the same, a story of a dog so fast he could race trains, just for the joy of it. Burton wrote and illustrated something like seven books, and provided the art for another four or so. She died at 59 in 1968. In 2007 a first edition of her book, The Little House, sold for just under $10,000.

Lebanon, Indiana, U.S.A.: Prentice Hall Direct, 1981 Robert Heilbroner was the best expounder of pessimism around in the 1970's. I remember being thrilled and horrified by An Inquiry into the Human Prospect. A socialist professor of economics at the New School for Social Research, he and his coauthor reflect on the economy in this tome, and although he appears to have recanted much toward the end of his life, he would no doubt have enjoyed being right at the current state of affairs. This paperback may be a first in that format and appears unread. There is some darkening along the edges of the covers. There are no reading creases nor marks or writing or underlining. Very slight rubs to corners
