I have this book to used, fantastic. I grew up in a vegetarian household, and didn't have any idea about cuts of meats, i learnt everything i now know from this book. The older books really are better, apart from the interior design!0

Don't know what the market value of them is but to me they are priceless!
I've just had a look at my copy of the Dairy Book of Home Cookery and it's also from 1968, so it's a year older than I am!
It belonged to my late mother-in-law and I use it all the time.Mortgage Free as of 03/07/2017 :beer:0 -

Got my book today. What a blast from the past! I saw a bottle of Fairy washing up liquid in one photo, and it was 69 1/2p. I thought that was pretty expensive for 27 years ago!
The book is in great condition but as soon as I opened the envelope it smelt of attic lol. Any tips to get rid of the pong?
