Vintage Cook Books - vegetables and potatoes

Here is a link to a couple small books I have for sale on ebay.

1. They have lots of simple ideas for cooking vegetables and potatoes.  These belonged to my British MIL and were kept very well.  They would provide money saving ideas for the contemporary cook.  

Just think how we have evolved from this model.  I must admit it has loads of charm.  Why do love old things so much.  Has anyone done a study to find out why some people are so attracted to vintage?

Anyway, you can see more of the book here -  http://www.ebay.com/itm/180926366301?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_949
