Cookbooks - Do you pay full price?
Comments (22)After posting earlier this weekend, I ventured into our local Friends of the Library bookstore on Sunday and happened across three "finds". 1) Sharon O'Connor's Menus and Music. This looks like a cookbook more for a gourmet, but she has suggestions for the classical music that should accompany each menu/item. The book originally came with a cassette tape (published in 1985)with music by the San Francisco String Quartet. Unfortunately, this copy didn't come with the cassette. The book is still quite new - the spine isn't bent or cracked in any way. I can probably find much of the music in my own CD collection! $2. (No cover price listed.) 2) Jeannie Jones' "Homestyle Cooking Made Healthy". This was another one that was so new it creaks when you open it. The recipes are all healthy and the pictures, beautiful! I had checked this one out of the library and decided it was worth owning if I could find a used copy. $3. (Back cover says $27.95) 3) Okay, this one is OT - sheet music for Johnny Mercer's "Dream"! 50c. I love to browse our Friends of the Library Bookstore's sheet music. I've come across some good "finds"! DonnaR/CA...See MoreAre there any cookbooks/authors that you just *have* to have?
Comments (20)"I want to try and find Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking in used bookstores. The movie made her book popular again, and I know they are in print again. One of our local stores is selling the hardcover for $60." Just bought a brand new one today in Costco for $25. "I **might** buy the Pioneer Womans cookbook if I saw it. I wouldn't find it in my town though I know that." You can find a LOT of her recipes on her web site The Pioneer Woman. And you can buy the book from Amazon....See MoreDo you collect cookbooks?
Comments (23)I collect cook book and cooking magazines. I have a shelf dedicated to my cookbooks in a bookcase in my living room and I have a red bin in the kitchen for the newest cookbooks and magazines. I usually don't follow recipes except for baking but I do get many ideas and tips from them. The magazines are the floor of a closet. My favourite cookbook is my Mom's old Five Roses Cookbook. I always pull it out when I make pancakes (should have memorized it by now)LOL This is the same cookbook that I cut up for a grade school project LOL my Mom was so mad at me. There was a page of cuts of meat and I cut out each individual piece of meat for the project LOL. I love cookbooks that churches and groups put out for fundraisers. They always have little stories in them. I also have a cookbook from the 1800's that was my Great Grandmother's but the pages are crumbling so don't often look at it but it is cool to have. Love the recipes on how to cure what ever ailment you could think of during that time period. I have gotten some wonderful cookbooks from friends at GW during swaps here and from the Cooking Forum Anne...See MoreHave You Ever Bought a Digital Cookbook?
Comments (39)Excellent. Kindle app, updated iOS. So, to use Notes with it, if you want to write something down, check the little tray that comes up when you swipe up from the bottom of the screen. If it isn't, find the Notes icon (yellow band on top, with paper lines under--it comes with your iPad and can sync to your iPhone). Press and drag that icon to the tray, then tap done at the top right of the screen. Now, when you're reading the book, if you want to take notes, swipe up to see the tray, hold and drag the Notes icon to on top of the Kindle app (or any app) and let it go. You should get a narrow page of Notes on top of your main app. There's a little gray bar at the top of that which is a handle. You can tap and drag it to other positions on the screen, and if you tap and drag it to the right hand side off the edge of the screen, it'll hide. Drag your finger from the right hand edge, and it'll come back, or show a tab you can tap and drag to pull it into view. Notes automatically saves and is yours to keep. To set a bookmark in the kindle app, which should be in your app, rather than the library book, so should be fine, just tap the upper right hand corner and you should see a little blue flag. Or you can tap the center to see the toolbar and tap the top rightmost flag icon. To see the bookmarks you've set, tap the center to see the toolbar, and tap the third from the top right icon, that looks like a page. That will show your bookmarks with a few words from the page (which may or may not be helpful) and a number which gives the location from the beginning, which you'd have to use a lot to make meaningful, but you can compare the numbers to get a better idea of which bookmark you wanted, like toward the beginning or toward the end. Tap the bookmark and it'll take you there. There will be a little box that will switch you back and forth from where you were to the bookmark, back and forth, if you want to compare, or use a couple of recipes together. You can tap the center to get the full page, and advance or retreat a few pages, and still have the toggle button. I haven't used the in app notetaking, but the link explains it pretty well. If what I've said here isn't clear, just ask and I'll do better. :)...See Morecarolb_w_fl_coastal_9b
