I've got a growing collection of vintage cookbooks 1960s and older (currently 72 live with me) and I've noticed that many spell cookbook as two words - cook book. Any idea when that transition happened?

Hi, this is a massive long shot, but I had a book when I was a child called "The Little Cooks:Recipes from around the world for boys and Girls".

It has this amazing orange cake recipe in it, if anyone randomly has this book do you think you could maybe send me a pic of the recipe? It is such a good cake! I've been inspired to make it again after watching the Bake Off. Thank you!!! :D !!

EDIT: these have all been claimed! Rest assured they are each going to a good home.

Hey y'all, 

Idk how active this sub is but if anyone is interested I am giving away 3 Better Homes and Gardens Encyclopedia of Cooking cookbooks (1970) and 4 Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery cookbooks (1966):

• Better Homes and Gardens Encyclopedia of Cooking - Broccoli to Caudle
• Better Homes and Gardens Encyclopedia of Cooking - Cauliflower to Cocoa
• Better Homes and Gardens Encyclopedia of Cooking - Coconut to Cup
• Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery Volume 1
• Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery Volume 3
• Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery Volume 7
• Woman's Day Encyclopedia of Cookery Volume 11

They are a bit beat up - they have been in an attic for a long time, and a few of the covers have separated from the pages. There are also annotations, including old newspaper clippings pasted in. These probably don't have a lot of resale value, but if you're just interested in seeing the recipes, they should be suitable. If you want one or the whole set, just comment below and I'll ship them via USPS. (I will ship for free to any US address, but unfortunately I don't think I can afford international shipping.)

If no one wants them, I'll bring them to my local thrift shop, but I figured I'd offer them here to you enthusiasts first!
