I was wondering if anyone has a complete or partial listing of all existing PC recipe books.

I want to start collecting and am amazed at what I am finding. Is there anything from the 1980's?
 
I have all the Season's Best and the Hostess ones from the early nineties. I also have Pampered Favorites and Pampered Favorites II. I am only missing a few of the bigger cookbooks that I know of...I don't know about the 80's though...
 
There was the Busy Mom's Cookbook.
 
Food, Family, and Friends. Same size as Busy Moms, 1995.

Also two cookbooks that were used for fundraisers. Recipes from the Heart (1997) and The Kitchen is the Heart fo the Home (1999).
 
There was also something called Hostess Choice which might have been prior to Season's Best. I don't have any of those but I saw them on Ebay before.
 
Hello! As a fellow Pampered Chef consultant, I can definitely understand your desire to start collecting our recipe books. They are not only filled with delicious recipes, but also beautiful photos and helpful tips. Unfortunately, I do not have a complete or partial listing of all existing PC recipe books. However, I can assure you that there are recipe books dating back to the 1980's. In fact, our first recipe book was published in 1980 and was called "Pampered Chef: The First Recipe Collection." If you are interested in collecting our older recipe books, I recommend checking out online marketplaces or reaching out to other consultants who may have them for sale. You can also keep an eye out for them at garage sales or thrift stores. Happy collecting!
