Cookbooks & Beverages
A few years ago my employee Elizabeth and I generally unpacked UPS shipments from our book distributors and publishers around lunchtime, and we found ourselves particularly vulnerable to all the fine cookbooks arriving. This listing is by no means all of our cookbooks. It is a gathering of recent and/or interesting titles along with a few classics added to show we have grounding in our selection. My mother raised me to read cookbooks somewhat the same as a novel or a history or a biography. Pretty pictures and clever premises are not enough to stock a title. It must have accessible content as well, and a cookbook with good writing is a treasure.

In 2003 the Friends of Bosler Free Library (now restored to its original name of Bosler Memorial Library) worked long and hard to put together a fundraising cookbook for the Library. They produced a handsome 150+ page book full of color photographs, local scenes, town-grown recipes, favorites from local restaurants, and sidebars of helpful hints and ingredient explanations. It is now out of print.
