We have a tall,narrow shelving unit in the corner of the kitchen/dining room...it holds only cookbooks, many very old from my Mom and various aunts. Some of the aunt ones have hand-written notes and I can't bear to give them away. I keep trying to sort the books out to give some away, but can't seem to give an entire shelf's worth away, so end up keeping them all in order to keep the other books from toppling over. LOL. Some excuse, eh? But the only one I really use anymore is the green binder full of recipes I've either copied off of the Internet or old family recipes that I've typed up.

I do have a passion for buying cookbooks from charity organizations. I have so many of those from various churches, cancer and other charities. I rarely ever use them, but love collecting them.
