@Harpa   I agree except cookbooks!  I still have a huge collection and use them almost daily to browse, see how "Jacques" or someone would do it, and just enjoy exploring and learning: Sitting down with my iced coffee or tea and enjoying!

Used to depend on Magic Erasers to remove tea stains from mugs, spoons and filters.  Now I'm using baking soda.  Kinda old school.
