I like to decorate the Holidays with books. One reason I started the "Cookbook" collection I have, they have to have great picures in them.. more then just the receipes, and England has in the past given me many an great cookbook for the Holidays I might add. I'm beginning to think England excels in photography. As I'm getting ready now for July 4th, I have out "American the Majestc" Pictorial Cook Book..Original price of it was $49.95..I picked it up used for $7.99. Its an atlas sized book, and has pages of double panoramic views of different areas of the USA in it followed by receipes. I like to lay these around on tables. Where people come in can browse in them.
