Talk:Joy of Cooking

message: I am working on providing content for the empty sections (2nd, 3rd, 4th editions), adding a bit to other sections, moving some sources to Refences and adding some inline citations. But since the empty sections were added recently, I want to be sure this page isn't currently in the midst of editorial work by someone else.  I'm a new editor, and I don't want to get in the way of an ongoing project.  If there's something I should be aware of before making the edits I've indicated above, please let me know on this page.

thread_title: Revisions pending?

message: "In 1962, a revised edition of Joy was published, the first since Irma's death. The edition was released without Becker's consent. Subsequent releases of the book in 1963 and 1964 were essentially massive corrections, and Becker was known to swap copies of the 1962 edition for later corrected versions."

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:TheJoyOfCookingCover.jpg

message: I'm wondering if the 1931 Edition is public domain yet? If it was published with noticed in 1931, it could be renewed for up to 67 years, ending in 1998. Correct? The 1951 edition is in the electronic records, as it was renewed in 1979, but the 1931 edition is too old for electronic search.
Not asking for legal advice, just curious.

thread_title:  Public domain 

message: The article says under "Sixth edition (1975)"
:The foreword to this edition explains that Becker's favorite recipes include "Cockaigne" in the name, (e.g., "Fruit Cake Cockaigne"), after the name of her country home in Anderson Township, near Cincinnati, Ohio.
and gives two references:
*Cincinnati Enquirer, October 25, 2006
*
That sounded very familiar. So I looked in my copyand found, in the "Foreword and Guide":
:Finally, in response to many requests from users of "The Joy" who ask "What are your favorites?", we have added to some of our recipes the word "Cockaigne", which signified in medieval times "a mythical land of peace and plenty," and also happens to be the name of our country home.
:—[second (unnumbered) page of Foreword, 5th paragraph, second sentence]
This copy, which was my mother's, is of the Fifth Edition. Though it does not say that, the back title page lists twelve copyright dates, from 1931 to 1964, and eighteen "previous printings", from September 1962 – January, 1967 (which, I presume, is not previous but this one, as no other printing date is given).
So I'm moving the explanation of "Cockaigne" to § Fifth edition (1964), with this reference plus another from the official website that pins the addition of the "Cockaigne" tag to this edition, while keeping the previously existing references with it in HTML but commenting them out with <-- ... -->. --Thnidu (talk) 05:08, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely correct, and thanks for making the correction.  I had also noticed this anomaly but had never gotten around to fixing it. Cheers, Brazzit (talk) 21:30, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
