I really like when they are well-loved and have notes in the margins about substitutions, additions, who likes this or that...The small household who's written down the math for a half recipe or the big household who doubles it. Extra points for 'this isn't good' warnings.

My 1943 Joy of Cooking came with a warning that it 'showed signs of use'. Oh, noooo! Wait'll I get through with it.
