4. “Art of Cookery Made Plain & Simple” by Hannah Glasse (Sold for $2,875)
Even though you can find the regular edition of this book for around $30, some people still look to buy the first edition of the book for a lot more.
The book’s first edition was published in 1747. It was originally printed for household servants or maid. Back in the days, this was the most popular cookbook in America.
Glasse’s cookbook is so popular that even two America’s former presidents were interested. George Washington and Thomas Jefferson did have the copies of this book.
The collectible first edition of the book is sold for $2,875. Interested in buying the same cookbook with the one that Mr. President had?
