Does anybody know of a good place where I can find them besides ebay? I have a few people that had some sitting around that just gave them to me or sent them to me. I'd like to mix it up a bit. I will be displaying the on a wall in my kitchen.

that sounds a really good idea. I think charity shops are your best bet. Try speaking to the workers in charity shops, because these sort of books are the exact type that are trashed and dont even make it to the shelves.( i know, pure ignorance! :) ) Bring in a couple that you have at home, show them, and ask that they keep an eye out for something similar and reserve for you.

Periodically libraries will have sales of old books - I have gotten great vintage cookbooks that way - especially if they are not "classics". Thrift stores can be good, but you have to keep going - I got almost an entire set of Time-Life Food of the World cookbooks for 50 cents each at a thrift store one day and at the used bookstore they were $6 a piece! (Not pre-1960's but pretty darn cool!)

I would try yard or garage sales, thrift stores, things of that nature, i have several old ones that i have collected, one is one of the very first that "justin Wilson" ever made, and the "chiffon" butter recipe book , very old , very rare,
you might try going to a smaller country town, where they have flea markets and things also

Most antique or resale shops also carry these cookbooks.
Or just basic yard sales.
