Old favorite pie recipes stand the test of time

I was looking for a favorite pie recipe booklet a few weeks ago and couldn't find it anywhere. Last evening, I was reaching into the bookshelves for another book, and there was the pie book, right there on top. I guess my "cooking angel" decided it was time for me to find the recipe I wanted. Anyhow, I began reading it like a novel, perusing recipes like chapters and admiring illustrations as though they were scenes from a fantasy adventure.
