Robert: You inspired me to check out Project Gutenberg for another book from long ago. I have an ancient copy of "The White House Cookbook" published in 1877. I found my copy in a small antique shop some years back and it is interesting to browse through ; especially the "health hints" from over a century ago. I was delighted to find this book on the Internet. My copy is so fragile as to be almost unusable. Thanks
Check it out.

Will do, Chancy, love old books! Thanks for the link.
Seems very "Three Men in a Boat".
Ach! My firkin! I knew I'd forgotten something...
