I have a large collection of old cookbooks predating our more health conscious times. The recipes call for thickening foods with cream, plenty of frying, adding creamed canned soups to casseroles, using fake pareve cream, and the like.
Do these cookbooks have any value today? Should you work at making suitable substitution?
Or would you chuck the lot?
I do have an emotional bond towards these books.
I most certainly could use more space on the book shelves.
Where do you find a home for old cook books?

I love cookbooks! I would keep them and flip through for inspiration- I'm the kind of person who is happy to improv a recipe, but you can always Google for healthier versions too.

See if you can organize a local cookbook swap! Everyone who brings a book takes a book, if a person wants more books than she brought she can buy each one for not expensive, and donate the funds raised to a local tzeduka.

I gave away more than half our collection to the local library. What they can't use or sell, they donate elsewhere.
I'd give away another half of what's left, because these days, we look for recipes online a lot, but DH, who is a packrat, won't hear of it.
