2015 Gift Guide: Vintage Gourmets

One of the best presents I've gotten this year was a carton of vintage Gourmet Magazines, sent to me by the wonderful Mclean and Eakin Bookstore in Petoskey, Michigan.  I've had so much fun poring through these old issues!

Last month, when a friend was celebrating a birthday, I wanted to give her the issue from her birth month. But I hesitated; I hated parting with a single issue. Still, it seemed like such a perfect present that in the end I wrapped it up. The issue made her so happy I was glad I had.

I was even happier when I discovered this site, which has issues going back to the forties listed month by month. You can also try Ebay, where the issues are less expensive but more sporadic.
