You might find this interesting – I have the 1934 edition of that cookbook which my grandmother used when she was a new bride. No notes written on the memoranda pages (she saved those for her favorite cookbook which I also have)but an old recipe card and an advertisement for a knox gelatin cookbook dated 1946 squeezed between the pages. Incidentally, this edition has a green cover with the title in red and it appears the first (original printing) was in 1908. This edition has 236 pages. I love old family cookbooks.

Someone else’s recipes notes. That’s cheating and I like it. This is such a great example of reuse!
