That is awesome. The Betty Crocker cookbook has been a part of my family's cooking for several generations now, and my Granny makes it a point to give each grandchild a version as a wedding present. Some of us have even been lucky enough to get older editions that she's found at garage sales or thrift stores!

Not sure if my mom has one of those. Although, she is like your mom and probably sent it to the DI.

My mom also had that same cookbook. I remember learning so much from Betty Crocker herself :) Then, as a birthday present back in high school she got me one of my own. (it is missing some of my favorite recipes though because it is the newer addition) still a favorite though! Way to snag it!!

I have my mom's old one too! It's got a 1961 copy write and is printed in only four-ish colors. I bought a new one, because the old one is falling apart, only to discover that the new one is nothing like (or as good as) the old one.

AWESOME!! My mom used to have that very cookbook, and she did get rid of her's. I've never forgiven her! I remember that totally cool sucker/tinker toy thing. Way to go saving it!

what a memory!!!! and a treasure to have. my mom has/had that same cookbook. I've got to call her today & see if she kept it. I've always thought a cookbook or recipe box is like a miniature life history. my recipe box is a collection of people I've known over the years & their favorites they've been kind enough to share.
