It's about $25. I couldn't check out the inside, it was all shrinkwrapped, but if anyone is looking for a copy, looks like it's still in print I was at a Border’s Bookstore in Manhattan today, and they had a copy for sale with the very same cover!

Maybe I can ask her for them! My mom has that cookbook and 3 others in what looks like a bookshelf series (or part of one). Maybe I can ask her for them!

They still have my favourite oatmeal-walnut-raisin cookie recipe ever, and I make them often with my three-year-old daughter. And I totally plan on getting my daughter a Betty Crocker cookbook when she gets married -- regardless of how outmoded and outdated such gifts are!

I think my sister boosted our family copy of it. I found a paperbook version, published by Golden in 1987, that has the same recipes and many of the photos and illustrations but is called "Betty Crocker's Cookie Book".

My mom's copy was so tattered that it was thrown out after her death (my dad did not obviously understand the importance of these cookies!!!) (I finally found "Angel Bars" in an issue of Mary Englebreit's Home Companion that remind me of my childhood.)
