I don't think I have ever had a copy of the Joy of Cooking but it keeps coming up in discussion around here and now I think I might have to keep an eye out for one.

Mine (it changed a lot over the years as various refreshes happened) is wacky and old and fun just to flip through. Along with "The Art of French Cooking", it's the only cookbook I've ever actually used more than once.

Not life changing or anything, but an interesting slice of time if found for the right price. I paid $8.50 for it, which seemed about right in the age of food blogs for as far as the eye can see.
