We all have a collection of cookbooks which probably doesn't get smaller. How do you sort them? Where do you keep them (kitchen counter, cabinets, closets, stand alone shelves, shelves on the wall)? Do you have a cookbook on "display" in a plate holder? Do you have blank recipe books you write your creations in or keep them on your computer? Do you use them all or do you trade unused ones at the used book store?
Dont keep in kitchen as the grease from cooking in the air will yellow them faster. Keep them out of direct sun. also fluorescent light will hasten their ageing(cool flourescent lights oK not warm white type) away from heat sources. Dust every once in a while. I have some over 75 years old no problems so far.
