I really wanted the older edition because I understood it states portions for the era it came from - which is what portions should be. However, the font on this edition is very small and the pages are so thin they stick together easily. I have great vision and it is still small. I love the spiral bound though - that'll help when referencing the recipe - if I can read it. Ha ha. I'm not sure if the newer editions have these problems. I'd check the photos of the pages and try to check out a copy in person before buying. Otherwise, I'm glad to have my Joy of Cooking cookbook and hope to make the time to prepare something in it once my gallblader is gone!

I love this book. It looks older than I was expecting but that just adds to it's value. It is full of great information and would be an excellent book to give someone as a wedding gift or foe someone starting over. Full of info on what you need in the kitchen to start off with.

The Joy of Cooking is a classic and a "must have" for any kitchen. It contains all the basics such as how to make a white sauce and how to roast the turkey. Want to know what temperature a rare steak should be? Need to know how to fix the gravy the way Grandma did? Just how do you make potato soup? How about homemade macaroni and cheese? Beef stroganoff? Italian dressing for salad? Joy of Cooking has it all. If you grew up in America, Joy of Cooking will help you re-create your faves from Mom and Grandma. My husband and I have referred to it for over 24 years! I bought this particular version because it has the ability to open and lay flat on the counter. Do you know why it's called "Pound Cake"? If not, Joy of Cooking will explain it all.
This is the classic. I think this is my third copy--I wore out the previous ones.

I had this version for 30 years and it was falling apart. Now I have a replacement. Great addition.
