Q: My mom grew up in Soulard, a neighborhood in St. Louis. During the early 1930s, she met Irma S. Rombauer, who, with her daughter Marion, was compiling a new cookbook, "The Joy of Cooking." It was published in 1931, and my mother was given a signed first edition.

I have often wondered about its value and won-der if you can help me. Is this just another cook-book, or do I have something really special? I am a professional cook and often use the cookbook's later editions, especially the one published in 1962. -- Susan, Wheatridge, Colo.

A: Take off your apron and sit down, because I have some rather startling news for you. First, let me provide you with a little background about "The Joy of Cooking," one of the most significant cookbooks in American history.

Irma and Marion Rombauer lived in the Comp-ton Heights neighborhood of St. Louis, and even though neither woman had much experience in the kitchen, Irma's husband committed suicide, which made it necessary for the two women to find a way they could support themselves. Irma gathered recipes, and her daughter illustrated them. The first edition had a definite German-American flavor, which reflected their neighborhood. The edi-tions that followed made "The Joy of Cooking" a national bestseller, and many consider it one of the better cookbooks ever.

And now for the good part. Are you sitting down, Susan? Since so few copies of the first edition exist, your signed copy is probably worth about $5,000, perhaps more at auction. The 1936 edition is valued in the $140 to $250 range, and the 1962 edition (which I also like and use), goes for $30 to $50, depending on condition. Another popular edition is the one issued in 1943 because of its "sugarless" recipes, necessary because of war rationing.

Rare Cookbook

• “I have added an additional shower curtain bar in my tub. I

hang up my towels and washcloths there to air dry, and they are out of sight behind the shower curtain. It’s very convenient.” -- A Reader, via email

• “I put out small candy dishes in my home, and I like to keep them filled with goodies throughout the year. When I have little children over, I put them up high and let parents know that they and the children are welcome to have as much as they like. The parents appreciate this, as the children sometimes like to overindulge.” -- D.A. in Rhode Island

• Unexpected company on the way? Throw clutter in a laundry basket and stash. Clear the sink of dirty dishes, take out the garbage, clean the faucets, sink and mirror in the bathroom most likely to be used and, finally, sweep or vacuum the floors. This should not take long, but these moves will maximize the feeling of cleanliness in your house.

• Here’s another use for a bandanna: in-a-pinch earmuffs. T ie around head and position over cold ears to keep winter winds at bay.

• On Dec. 10, 1901, the first Nobel Prizes are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, on the fifth anniversary of the death of Alfred Nobel. Although Nobel offered no public reason for his creation of the prizes, it is believed that he did so out of moral regret over the lethal uses of his invention of dynamite and other explosives.

• On Dec. 11, 1936, after ruling for less than one year, Edward VIII becomes the first English monarch to voluntarily abdicate the throne. The British government, public and the Church of England condemned his decision to marry American divorcee Wallis Warfield Simpson. Edward claimed it was impossible to discharge his duties without the woman he loved.

• On Dec. 5, 1945, five U.S. Navy Avenger torpedo-bombers take off from the Ft. Lauderdale Naval Air Station in Florida on a three-hour training flight. They never returned, and no trace of the bodies or aircraft was ever found. The story helped cement the legend of the Bermuda Triangle, an area of the Atlantic Ocean where ships and

aircraft are said to disappear without a trace.

• On Dec. 8, 1969, at a news conference, President Richard Nixon says that the Vietnam War is coming to an end. His pronouncements proved premature. In April 1970, he expanded the war by ordering attacks on communist sanctuaries in Cambodia.
