    My mom and I collected cookbooks before she passed. We’d sit and read them for hours together then put them on the shelf never to be touched again. I won’t sell these until I’m at the end of my life because they have sentimental value. Then I’ll sell them for my son so, he can have the money unless he wants the books themselves. I do have one book I use a lot though it’s an old Betty Crocker book. It’s has wonderful recipes two of which I use all the time. The recipes I use are the original chocolate chip cookie recipe and the chocolate cake recipe. I’ve made both a lot for my family and thanksgiving dinner for my husbands work. They have loved both each time with my husband only coming back with an empty plate. My first time making the cookies I forgot a ingredient and the cookies stuck together but, they were even better because they were chewy. They were gone before the end of the dinner. I love that recipe.

    Dr.Lori for...Empress of Universe! What DOESN'T this woman know?! I had no clue about storing them on their side, thought that would make pages more likely stick together. The ocd in me says keep em spine up but since Dr.Lori says otherwise..lol Thank you as always for great info, kindness and humor to your visitors.

      I once met a bookseller who purchased a couple boxes of books off a guy for $40, as the guy was going to throw it out and he just couldn't handle the thought of books being thrown out. Inside was a signed 1st Ed of Gone with the Wind and one of Hemmingway's books (i don't remember which). I have always been jealous of that and I hope to one day be that lucky.

    Shared this to my vintage cookbook group, few of us including myself have the White House cookbook. Various stages of disrepair, varying years. I was trying to explain how the values can range so widely. This video did a great job. My personal book is in decent condition from the McKinley era, 1901. However whoever had it before me pasted so many personal recipes and instructions on the inside, so many cut-outs (from newspapers) to it I had to lift them to see the date! It's very cool. I know it devalues at monetarily but it makes it an interesting history piece for the collector like me.
    The funniest part? Is the previous owner wrote in the inside cover directly under a written recipe, "I DON'T NEED YOUR ADVICE". Seems whoever was the previous cook had it all under control 😂

    I love watching Dr Lori searching her mental library when she can’t very rarely at first place the intersection of memory knowledge, but every single time you can see the connection made and pathway revealed as well as walked down the path to the knowledge location. This in my opinion is the best way to structure/restructure a memory museum, you need to later recall the information again later, you want to reinforce the knowledge by repeating it, as well as supporting it with other information which allows multi pathway indexing.

    I love books, love reading them also not only having them in my bookshelf. I did learned something big today, I thought I was taking care of my books very will, but I wasn't. Ihave them stand very neatly and tight so that they won't get all ruined. ButI was supposed to put them flat. I keep seeing in the library there standing so I thought that's the way there supposed to be, I guess I was wrong. Hope I didn't ruin my books. I am sure going to fix them. Love all your videos and admire your honesty. That's a beautiful quality that you have and helping us learn more every day. God bless you always.

    I found a 1915 Edition Pocket Classic, of “Hale’s The Man Without A Country” at a local thrift store. The condition is pretty good, the spine is strong and pages intact. The only two issues I see is a sticker within the front that’s either covering something that’s written there, or was placed there to write upon it. The second issue is on the back inside cover where a personalized signature was written. What would be the best steps to go through before listing it to sell? Appreciate your videos, you’ve made me aware of several items I may be able to sell. Gotta save in order to make a move, every penny counts! I’m letting go of heirlooms that our children just wouldn’t be attached to, like I am.

    When my mother in law passed away. Her kids took turns choosing items they wanted. Afterwards indirect family could take a few things; before the rest was boxed for Goodwill. No one even bothered looking at her books. I grabbed some fantastic ones. I do wish I had her instead of the books!

    I love that there are still people in this world that appreciate old books ❣️ BTW, isn't there anything that can be done for the bad odor in books ?

She just gave them to me after making a deal with her about another issue.. 🤣 Back to the books, I have a couple that I believe might be worth a few bucks if i were to sell them/ if I could get rid of the ODOR ! 🙄😳

      People like vinyl records again so books should be no surprise. Check with a University library about possible options to minimize the odor. I know possible methods using baking soda and deodorizing pouches may help, but I suggest you consult with a conservator

      I am enjoying all of the videos but happen to be a „book person“. The way you left no doubt about how to „store“ them without making me faint (concidering the work that comes along with that) is quite stunning. I also am glad that you explained what the meaning of the mark on the Kipling book means and where it originated, how old it was and that nobody should tape a torn page- there are other ways. Fine rice paper for instance. At least I believe so. I really would enjoy a special about inks and paper and ink wells one day. I truly enjoy watching your shows. 👌🏻

    Love old books.. I have a collection of old bibles including one with a very thick leather cover with a cross in it i believe to put a cross in.. It is huge and thick.. But the spine is broke and front cover is off but all is still there including keepsakes which ive put in plastic to precerve them.. I started collecting them when i found one with a letter in it from a woman to God asking him to forgive her gecause she wasnt sure of her decision on marrying the man she was about to mary, because she wanted to not get married to him.. The bible was inscribed ' to my daughter to carry on her wedding day'.. The part you fill out for marriages and children.. Is blank...

I've looked online and the only reference I can find is from the Library of Congress.
