I've had this cookbook for decades and it is becoming more and more broken. So I started looking around for a replacment copy. That's when I see this cookbook was  published as 2 voluimes in 1975. Mine doesn't have any reference to 2 volumes. Can anyone explain what this means? Mine is isbn 0-385-09088-9

It looks like 1,325 pages is a combined total for the two volumes together. I found a listing online (on abebooks.com) to a complete two-volume first edition showing 780 pages for Volume 1 and 774 pages for Volume 2. Maybe when they published it as one (very unwieldy) volume, the page layout was vastly different which would account for the greater number of pages? 

That is all good information that is so hard to find. My cookbook has 1325 pages, so I guess it is the combination of Volume 1 and 2.

And the back binder is red.

And a pet peeve came about when I decided to buy the updated version of the cookbook.  1990, The New Doubleday Cookbook with many more recipes.

Because I have trouble keeping track of which recipes I've made, I mark the recipes in the index of the book. When I tried to locate all the "made" recipes from the old cookbook and locate them in the new cookbook, some of them weren't there. I emailed Jean Anderson and asked if there was some place  where I could see which recipes were left out of the new cookbook. No answer.
