Cookbook Boston
How do I tell the age of a book?
I received my great grandmothers cookbook. It is well loved and the first 20 pages are missing. So I do not have the copyright page. I have looked on ebay and there are a number of these cookbooks from the early 1900s (1904, 1906, 1922, &1924)... however they have the same cover. Is there something else I can look for within the book to help determine its year? It is the Boston Cooking School cookbook by Fannie Merritt Farmer.
With the beginning missing, your best bet is to compare the index to copies of each edition. If you can find a library which has them, ask them to use the index and tell you the page number of three recipes, which are in different parts of your book. The last page number in the book may also be enough to distinguish the editions.
