It is worth checking the list of recently indexed books, because you often find a later edition of a book you have which were unable to add because it was published pre ISBN numbers and was not in the library when you set up your shelves. You can check the recipes to see if they are the same..Today I found The Cordon Bleu Cookery Book.

Cati - when I find books like the  Cordon Bleu cookbook in the same way you did (or even on just a title or author search) I check the recipes against the edition in my hands and if its the same content I add a note on the indexed book along the lines of 'exactly the same content as ****** and give the publication details (year published & publisher, and if there is an ISBN - or its precursor -  that too )". I've found quite a few books like that (ie: in the EYB library, but having a different title or ISBN!). Then I add it to my bookshelf ;-)

Debkellie, while browsing through your bookshelf I noticed a book cover which I have , but must have forgotten to add. It was Home Library Healthy Heart Cookbook. Mine was published in 1990 by Australian Womens Weekly. Yours was a US publication 1995 so I would presume they will have identical recipes. However when I imported the ISBN 9780949892669 of my book it came up with a different cover of a book by AWW pubished in 2004.I saw that you also had this book. since neither are indexed I can't check whether the recipes are the same but I am curious because the photo on the 2004 book bears no resemblance to any of those in mine.looks much more modern . If you have any spare time would you be able to look and see whether the 2004 is a replica of the earlier editions.

Hi - I have these two on my EYB bookshelf, but I am in the same predicament as you Cati: I don't own the USA publication; I suspect it's the same as the AWW 1990 publication (which I have), and I think the 1990 variant will be  the same as the AWW 2004 publication ~ on my "to do" list is the task of tracking down a 2004 AWW and comparing it to the 1990 AWW! So if anyone has either the 2004 AWW AUs edition and can scan & email me a contents page; or indeed the USA Home Library contents page I can do a comparison and then maybe a member index!

Deb, I just found an enlarged image of the cover of the 2004 Healthy Heart Cookbook while trawling through ebay, and it says across the top " Revised edition including new recipes".So it won't be exactly the same as our 1990 edition. Next time I go to the newsagent who stocks a lot ofAWW Cookbooks I will see if they are still selling.
