Found On the Internets

Given how thoroughly I have immersed myself in cookbooks and cooking over the past year and a half, I am utterly fascinated by and enamored of this list I found today:

The 50 Best Cookbooks of All Time

I am sad to learn that I only own one of the books on the list, but amused as heck that that one book - Bartolomeo Scappi's Opera dell'Arte Del Cucinare (written in 1570) made it onto the list at all.

I am also far too tempted to use this as a shopping list, given that the Project is almost over and I need a new direction to go in..... Hm. This is what libraries are for.

Can other people use it as a shopping list for you?

I'm torn as I try to answer this - the total bibliovore in me wants to say yes, but the practical part of my brain is arguing loudly that over 180 cookbooks is more than enough... :)
