This is my Betty Crocker cookbook I got when I first was married. My Mother-in-law saved up her green stamps (I hope I am not dating myself) and got it for me. As you can see it is well used and loved.
I went on etsy and found another--first edition same year---egads it was 50 bucks but I got it and retired my old one and have it's clone

Hello,
I think I have the same cook book. It is a treasure! Enjoy your day, have a good week ahead!
We all have that favorite cookbook, mine is a BC too but not this old, lucky you!
My wife has one too, she got it in the 80s. It must have been very popular and probably still is.
A well used book! That's great that you still have it.
Think we have a copy of the same cookbook, but it might be a slightly later edition.
Quite well used!
My Betty Crocker cookbook is a 1975, but my Better Homes and Gardens is a 1969 and looks a lot like your old one, well used.
Mine is not quite that old...and not falling apart that bad, but it has aged. I cannot think who got me mine. I feel like i have had it all our married life.
Wow … that well-worn book is proof of the many recipes you put together over the decades to feed the family. Your mother-in-law was smart to give her son an excellent cook with one single book.
I remember green stamps. So much fun to save them to "buy" things. Love the cookbook. What a treasure!
