Rating: - Great background on cookbooks and collecting them
A very informative book on the backgound of cookbooks and collecting them. It is not meant to be a price list. Price lists are only valid until they are published, then the prices have already changed, so this book has a leg up on price lists.
If you don't care about the background of cookbooks and collecting and are only looking for lists or advice as to which to buy, don't buy this book.
If you want to learn more about the hobby, buy this book.

My copy is already dog-eared from daily use.

Rating:  - A Fair Buy
This book is a pretty fair buy and help. The thing I didn't like was the fact that 2/3 of the book is history of different cookbooks. I didn't personally want this. I just wanted prices of collectible cookbooks, so there weren't near enough books for my liking. The listings that were there were easy to understand and look up.
