In general, most older cookbooks do not go into as much detail as most modern cookbooks. Older cookbooks assume you know how to butterfly a whole chicken. Newer cookbooks about basics assume you don't know you should take out the little plastic bag of goop before roasting.
I've started putting together my own cook book of sorts. As I come across recipes I like I clip them and paste them into WordPad. My Sony can read that format directly--I assume you could convert it into something else with Calibre if you can't. I tag the heck out of the recipes with Calibre so I can find something I'm looking for easily.
