Love the cover on your new vintage book.

@house_cat   My first cookbook was the Better Crocker red and white check, remember that one?  I still have it, should toss it, but can't bring myself to do it, lol.  I didn't make many meals from it, or any other cookbook of the hundreds I have as I make recipes up as I go.

Looks familiar. To think it is now vintage.

@mousiegirl  I received the Betty Crocker cookbook with the red and white check for a shower gift in the '60's.  I still have it and a newer version of the same book.  Don't use them much now, but won't part with these books.

I have several of them. I like to get the first printed copies.  I was telling my son that when I die he should sell the cookbooks on Ebay.  He said he wants them. That's even better!

My first cookbook was the BH&G red checked cookbook.  I gave it to the DIL who likes to cook and she has enjoyed recipes I have made from that book.
