Books, books, everywhere and all for me to read

I managed to come across a copy of Mrs Beeton's Book of Household Management and have spent most of my time reading it.

I also came across more cookery books. As a member of "Downstairs", it's important to know of the latest procedures, I do need to peruse but there are quite a lot of them.













"We could live without poets,
we could live without books,
But how in the world
could we live without cooks."
