What’s on Julia Child's bookshelf?

Christine Klepper is a Museum Studies graduate student at The George Washington University. She has a recent post on the blog of the National Museum of American History entitled What's on Julia Child's bookshelf? It is a delightful read and holds several interesting photographs and links to related posts. Here is a brief excerpt:

The most memorable experience I had while working on the bookshelf happened when I began to inspect Julia’s copy of A Field Guide to Birds East of the Rockies by Roger Tory Peterson. I noticed she had bookmarked two pages, and I assumed that she was making note of birds that she observed outside her kitchen windows. When I turned to the marked page to note its location for the book’s object record, I realized Julia did not use the book for bird watching. She had bookmarked the description for pheasant and quail or, as curator Rayna Green observed, “the yummy birds.”
