When we got married, my dad found another copy and had it rebound for me as a wedding present!

That's my Desert Island Cookbook. I also have an edition from the 70s edited by Marion Rombauer Becker, and it's pretty close to the original with some additions . . . but the new "revised modern" one by Ethan Becker is simply awful. It was completely rewritten, and it has lost the uniqueness that made that cookbook, it's just like any other pop cookbook.
