Used Cookbook Sale in Hollywood
The Culinary Historians of Southern California are sponsoring a used cookbook sale in two weeks at the Hollywood Farmer’s Market. This food historians’ group is based at the Los Angeles Public Library, so my guess is their used book sale will be pretty good. Disclaimer: I haven’t been to one of their book sales, so save the hate mail if it turns out I’m wrong.
Go buy more books you don’t have room for. Better yet, donate some of your cookbooks that you don’t love any more, and send them off to a worthy new home. Proceeds support the Culinary Historians of Southern California.
For more information call 213-228-7201

Finally caught a hot P.S. post - thanks for the warning!
My advice - take the MTA Red Line and avoid slogging through WLA traffic and paying for parking. On the way back, check out the taiko drumming at the Nisei Week festival downtown (http://www.niseiweek.org/calendar.html).
OFF topic - I sure wish that someone in the CHSC would put a simple website together with their events. Free hosting isn’t that hard to find and (I think) that buying a domain name shouldn’t be expensive any more.
P.S. - a couple of recent comments on your February 4, 2006 Bagel entry - not too late to respond :-).

Hiya Divey,
You caught me. I suck at responding to recent comments on old posts. But you shamed me into it. So there.

Want books. Hate drive. Hmmm…

Thanks for the heads up. Sounds like a great thing for bargain hunters. Hopefully I can make it out there.

PS, thanks for the response! Better late than never is almost always good.
I found out at their book sale today that the CHSC now has their own web site (deep breath): http://www.culinaryhistoriansofsoutherncalifornia.org
Yowza! That site deserves its own TinyURL:

So Divey, how was the book sale? A 5am pipe leak kept me at the house all morning until the plumber arrived.
