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.

[@redapple2593]

First edition -May 1936 of "Gone with the wind", is now imprinted on my brain forever!✍️😉

[@annacuneo6875]

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.

[@thistlegal2154]

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.

I love that German bible. I found a large German table bible but the pages were in pieces. So sad.

[@FloralAndFire]

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 😂

[@DrLoriV]

Thanks for sharing so others can enjoy. Sounds like you have a cookbook/diary :) Stay tuned since I think there is another video being edited that has another edition of a White House cookbook.

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.

[@aidamelendez9835]

Thank you Dr. Lori 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.

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 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!

Haven't watched it yet, so I'll play. 1) These do not appear to be antique books other than the large one top row 2) None appear to have the dust jacket 3) Although some children's books can be of significant value, these appear to be book club or general runs based on the cover 4) I'm going to go with condition, condition, condition so that eliminates two based on the single pictures provided. That leave the red unmarked book and the two on the bottom right. The bottom right appears to have several stories, so I'm going to eliminate that one and pick the red book with the red background.

Im not the only one who sniffs books.

[@asmodeusasteroth7137]

This is mandatory I have allergies to mold I found books in the trash no smell I went to a book sale I could not approach

[@mabelbond1048]

Mabel here I just love your videos I love garage sales and a state sales. I have one question I have 2paints they are a set. Would they be double charge. Thanks for the lessons.

[@DrLoriV]

@@mabelbond1048 If they are in fact a set that would have originally been sold together, like a pair of salt and pepper shakers, I can consider them as one item for an appraisal.

[@genera1013]

I'm a bit confused. You mentioned more than once that books should be stacked, but everywhere else I look has said they should be shelved vertically.

[@DrLoriV]

What are you confused about? I'm right. Where is "everywhere else"--what sources are you referring to? In my experience, antique books should not be shelved vertically as undue stress to the spine results, bindings fade in the sunlight and wooden shelves off gas.

Oh my goodness when I saw this book that had the marbling in it I remember a bunch of them about this same appearance and size. But when I was 10 years old I'm not into really reading I hated reading and you're probably saying to yourself how can anyone hate reading well when you're not literate like I was I preferred math with I got a pluses and if I got a B+ I was very disturbed by the fact that my mass was only at a B+. But getting back to this book I remember seeing them in my dad's Library o bunch of them and I just admire the beauty inside and he told me they were very old books know my father started collecting years and years before I was born cuz he was born in 1906 and my mother was born 1930.. I would say without a word of lie my dad must have had at least 3,000 old books and he loved books and like I said he took care of them and you never touch my dad's books

[@ernieb820]

[@DrLoriV]

Thanks for watching!!

[@user-uq2gc9tn7r]

I have some books from Henry Cabot lodge

[@GeschichtenUndGedanken]

Excellent episode! I love it.

[@DrLoriV]

Happy to hear it! Something in particular that you liked about this video compared to my others? Other videos on YT?

[@GeschichtenUndGedanken]

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. 👌🏻

[@DrLoriV]

@@GeschichtenUndGedanken I appreciate the feedback. Search my channel. I have vids where I talk about books, inks and paper and I think I have a few posted or coming up soon about ink wells. I can also look at your specific pieces from photos or you can show me your pieces during a video call.

[@citrusandclove340]

Dr. Lori, You are such a genius. Is there an online marketplace that you recommend for rare and antique books?

[@DrLoriV]

My online appraisal reports offer location(s) where your books actually sold at my appraise values. Reports can be requested on my website.
