Sue Jimenez, a retired forensic anthropologist, reportedly has the largest collection of cookbooks in the world, as certified by Guiness World Records. She has at least 6,000 cookbooks in her library. Sadly, I did not find any evidence that she has The Deplorable Gourmet in her collection. You can find an online version of her collection here. She also has a blog where she researches cookbooks for history, cultural, and social trends, such as, “A Vintage Cookbookery Mystery – The Curious Case of Irma Rombauer and the Missing Squirrel.” (NOTE: Irma Rombauer is the author of The Joy of Cooking.)

Well, I’m the first to admit that I have never heard of the cookbook, “The Deplorable Gourmet”, but I’ve met a few of them! Thanks for the mention.
You’re very welcome! The Deplorable Gourmet is a pretty good one. We cook from it frequently. It’s a compilation book; contributors are all commenters on a widely read blog.
