Yes, when I got my Braille cookbook, the binder was already starting to fray and tear. I got many wonderful tips and recipes from it. Many good books out there, and from the past!

It is a one volume hard cover book that had labels in the back but of course there were no labels there when I got the book. It is copyright 1948 and is fun to look through. I also got two volumes of a book called Evelyn Lee's New Cookbook or something like that. I only got two out of the three volumes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandy from OK!" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2012 2:34 AM Subject: Re: [CnD] recommended cookbooks > When I think of the braille cookbooks, I think of the Our Special > cookbooks, > Cooking without Looking, When the Cook Can't Look, Better Homes and > Gardens > Cookbook, and I think as a teen, a lady gave me one with a hard bound > cover > on it and I think it was called The Braille Cookbook; I no longer have > many > of these, but they were wonderful and helpful to beginning cooks. > > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Nicole > Massey > Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2012 4:10 PM > To: [email protected]; 'Judy Cowart' > Subject: Re: [CnD] recommended cookbooks > > > Braille is not an option for me -- too many years of playing hand > drums before I lost my sight.
