Longtime collectibles and antique columnist Larry Cox contributes a special collectibles column for the Arizona Republic website azcentral.com. His column answers readers' questions about antiques and collectibles.

This morning we opened the Cookbook Village inbox to find some very interesting requests for searches and information for some unique vintage cookbooks. Each email to us mentioned "today's Larry Cox column in the Arizona Republic website." Sure enough, we visited the site and were pleased to see that Cookbook Village was mentioned in a section of the article on whether or not vintage cookbooks have monetary value. Cox noted some price ranges that were definitely in line with many secondhand cookbooks and went on to note Cookbook Village as a good resource for learning about current values.

We want to thank Larry and the Arizona Republic for the nice mention of our online store! We are happy to see some media coverage on vintage and collectible cookbooks -- a hobby that's near and dear to us ... and to many Cookbook Village customers.

A Nostalgic Find from Hollywood's Past

Posting soon to the Cookbook Village store inventory is a hard-to-find collectible cookbook from the former Cock 'n Bull tavern on Sunset Strip in Hollywood, California. The restaurant closed down in 1987 after 50 years in business. The cookbook, The Cock 'n Bull's Cookery'n Libation Remembrancer was published in 1972. It is a paperback book with 57 pages.

After quite a bit of research and social media posts requesting background on the cookbook, we still couldn't find another like it. Published in the early 70's, we assume there must be others out there on the Web. Rare or not rare, given the tavern's legendary status among Angelinos, we figured this nostalgic restaurant cookbook should definitely hold a spot in our Cookbook Village buzz and news pages before we post it for sale. The owner "Jack" Morgan is tied to the development of the famous Moscow Mule cocktail.

The Cock 'n Bull's Cookery'n Libation Remembrancer is a humorous cookbook with some interesting recipes from the restaurant -- The Welshman's Rabbit, The Proud Cornish Pasty, Mr. Humble's Curry, Trifle Pudding Balmorol, and several cocktail recipes, among others.

At first glance this cookbook appears to be from a British pub in London. Illustrations of old English landmarks fill the pages, though the title page gives the real restaurant's identify away. It states the location of the publisher as being: "Situated in the region of Sunset-Upon-The-Strip Close by the Hamlet of Hollywood." In addition to that, we have seen the restaurant's famous Welshman's Rabbit dish in another cookbook and found it here inside this cookbook.

We love to unravel a good mystery! It's half the fun of collecting cookbooks.

Look out for this nostalgic culinary collectible for sale soon on CookbookVillage.com.
