Collecting Cook Books My Hobby!

Anything Beard, Escofier, Bertholle, Beck, Or Child (She sends me goosebumps whenever I read her), Goodhousekeeping, NewYork times, Clairborne, McBride, Better Homes, Rudkin (pepperidge farm), Encyclopedia of cooking 24 small handy volumes(250 to 500 ways of preparing ) and to so many other I did not mention. Thank you for teaching us in so many ways.
I always look up the glossary to find new meanings or a twist on existing teams. A term used 75 years ago always intrigues me. Also how it would be used in todays way of cooking. When I had my Restaurant over my fax machine I would send out tests of general knowledge. My patrons loved it. Can you name other Cookbooks worth finding.
