How do I know what to look for? Well, that is another matter entirely--I ask around to friends on eatingchinese.org, I asked Grace Young, and I ask other Chinese cooking teachers. I looked up the library catalogues for the two largest Chinese cookbook collections, and copied titles there and searched for them on the internet. Sometimes, I just search on ebay and see what is available and learn about titles that way.<br /><br />And, I comb used bookstores. And it is amazing what I can find. <br /><br />But I have been very lucky in my ebay and Amazon purchases. Often, I have managed to aquire quite rare books which generally go for very high prices very inexpensively. I've also scored some signed copies of books, as well, for incredibly low prices. Hey, Shirley!

But I have been very lucky in my ebay and Amazon purchases. Often, I have managed to aquire quite rare books which generally go for very high prices very inexpensively. I’ve also scored some signed copies of books, as well, for incredibly low prices.
