Re: [EXLIBRIS-L] Collectors' guide to historic cookery books?

[Bruce Tober <books@STAR-DOT-STAR.NET>]

Hi Jane, My friend (well I interviewed her for an article for my website 
so...), Marguerite Patton wrote one. It's somewhat simplistic/basic, 
but. It's called "Books for Cooks: A Bibliography of Cookery" and was 
published by Bowker in 1975.

I hope other suggestions will come in to the list, because I'd also be 
interested in a few more.

cheers
