Betty Crocker's Cooky Book Book

This book was a wedding gift from my aunt, given to my mother back in 1962. Over the years it's been used time and again, for everything from Christmas cookies, to finding that perfect thing to take to the potluck or to have when guests are over. I've never found a cookie in this book that wasn't delicious and just perfect the way it was.

I wish I could find another copy. Both covers finally fell off this past year and I feel dreadfully guilty at the loss, as this was my mother's book and never should have been treated so roughly. The kids pretty much wore it out with their own experimentations in baking. Of course I'd keep my own copy, because of the history involved. I just hate using that one anymore.

If you can find this book, grab it. It's amazingly wonderful and raises the question - why is it that cookbooks are not all spiral-bound like this one?
