Thanks for the heads up on Estate Sales. I love driving down the road and seeing an estate sale. Yes, there is almost always a good deal to be found when someoen else is selling their stuff.

The amazing thing is that some of those wealthy McMansion-owners seem to have some very upscale and wonderful cookbooks strictly for show. Some are brand-new: they don’t even appear to have been opened.

Your description of your fabulous finds certainly whetted my appetite, but I am too lazy to go to these. I used to–in grad school–but found that the good deals created a lot of clutter for me. Plus, in my experience, these are picked over by dealers in advance.

Feel free to send me any good cookbooks you find!
