<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Figtree3, post: 989509, member: 33&quot;]I found this one they say is from 1974 (one of the early paperback printings). It&#039;s in rough shape and still sold for $13 -- more than I would have expected!</p><p><a href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Betty-Crocker-039-s-Cookbook-1974-paperback-A19-/223656051790" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/itm/Betty-Crocker-039-s-Cookbook-1974-paperback-A19-/223656051790" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Betty-Crocker-039-s-Cookbook-1974-paperback-A19-/223656051790</a></p><p><br /></p><p>If you open the original listing you&#039;ll see that it &quot;sold for&quot; that price.</p><p><br /></p><p>And sorry that I didn&#039;t notice that in your original post you mentioned that you knew they were asking a high price, and that wasn&#039;t your concern.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with [USER=12007]@blooey[/USER] that the seller in that first link is confused. You can tell that it&#039;s 1979 because that is the latest date listed. If it had been published in 1974 they would not have been able to tell when future printings occurred.&nbsp; -- So that is one way you can tell when you read the publication information on a copyright page. Some publishers are not so clear about the dates as this one is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
