How am I to find a book without publishing information?
I purchased a cheap large paperback cookback back in the late 70's early 80's. I may have purchased at Zayre's- remember the store? I didn't take care of it and not only ar the front and back covers gone, but so are the first 18 pgs and many of the last pages. The green spine of ."e book shows the title to be "the international COOKBOOK." There are a ton of books by this name, however, my book has a list of recipes in this order: Viennese, Italian, Polish, Czecholovak, Chinese, Greek, German, French, Jewish, Scandinavia and Mexican in that order. It also has a scattering of color pictures: pg 65 has pics of Italian antipasto and mozzarella cheese sandwhiches, pg 163 has pics of chicken with dates, wonton soup and egg rolls, pg 233 has a pic of bamberger meat and cabbage casserole and pg 33 has pics of lucia bread, lefser and fishballs. I've had the book for a long time and love it. I would like to find it again and have tried- but nothing. I hope someone has the same book and is able to give me the pertinent infor ie publisher, year etc.
I tried the vintage books and old cookbooks sites- no help. I need publisher, dates etc.
Please advise only if you have said book.

Try "vintagecookbooks.com" or "oldcookbooks.com." These sites feature old (1960's and beyond) out of print cookbooks--you might recognize a title. Also, your local library might have it in their cooking section; our library has some very old collections, because they never get rid of anything!

I'm not 100% sure but I think it would do more harm than good to cut out the agent and go straight for the publishing houses. You end up with a better deal in the long run and (so I've hard) it's quicker. While I know you have to wait to hear back from an agent, I also know that it's a lot worse sending straight to the publisher. I really wouldn't suggest it. The agents there for a reason. That's not to mention most publishing houses wont accept it without an agent anyway. I also don't see the point in asking about this just yet. You have no finished manuscript and you're not ready to publish yet. Concentrate on writing a good story before jumping the gun and thinking about this kind of thing, there's no guarantee you'll finish any of them and, if you do, of them getting published.
