Colour Library Books
 
I can't, for the life of me, find out who publishes these books. Anyone have a clue?

I have an old cookbook that I have been using since I moved out on my own over 20 years ago, my absolutely favorite, and it has gone to hell and back. Covers have been torn off by the brats in their younger years, the reason I can't find out who publishes them. I've been looking for a replacement of it for years now, and can't find anything online.

Anyone care to help out here with publisher details?

Nope. It is an old book called 'Simply Delicious - The Art of Entertaining'.

The Barnes and Noble website has a search facility to look for old and out of print books... you could try that..

There is a magazine called Reminisce that may help you with this (assuming you bought it in the US). There's a section where you can list something like your book and ask people if they can tell you more about it like the ISBN no etc.

You miss-pelt color... Sorry, we cannot help you on anything academic unless you can get the spelling correct. It will be a gray day for all travelers that have gotton nuffin to contribute to merican cult chur.

You can redeem yourself if you can say herb, as if the "H" add disappeared from the face of the eart(h).

Also, we will help, if you forget plimsoles ever existed, if you agree that diddly squat was something to do with lifting weights, if cauliflower cheese is good for your diet, if fast food can be fresh and if dumplings made from congeiled egg yolks are the best...

Let me know if we are on the same page, and will endeavor to help yo'all

If you got to www.abebooks.com and search in title just for Simply Delicious it comes up with various matches many in used bookshops in the UK. You might be able to rule them in or out based on the description. First few are Campbell's, not what you're looking for, but keep scrolling down.
