Start a YouTube channel where you make random things from random books.

I'd subscribe.
I have some old church cookbooks from my grandmother, and they have some weird stuff in them.

There is a NW La. food blogger who is into those regional cookbooks. He's also working on a masters degree in Louisiana culture or something like that.
You might reach out to him and see if he is interested or knows a place that would take them.

Good God almighty this person loved cookbooks.

That is a treasure trove in so many ways. Donating to libraries or the culinary program at a local school is a decent thing to do, but know that they get tons of donations and often these are very similar in content. In that case you're pushing the decision headache onto someone else. They will end up recycling or simply trashing them (librarian speaking.)

Likely this is a person who enjoyed cooking and did so long before the internet became a big resource for recipes. You should see my Mom's collection.

Correct. These were my non-maternal great grandmother, who died at 99 last year, and her daughter's collection.
I was reluctant to dig into these because she has 50 other things she collected, but y'all convinced me. I'll post some pictures later.
I just got over here and started digging in about a week ago and I'm still finding stuff everyday. She still has a working 8 track and I've been loving going through those.
Appreciate everyone's help.

Looks like you have a treasure trove of neat stuff!
My Mom has always written in her cookbooks when she's cooked something from them. She may put in her changes or write whether she liked the recipe etc... You may want to thumb through the books to see if your relatives did the same.

She had good taste in music. That's for sure.
I'd like to see the recipes in the Farmerville cookbook.

I understand what you're going through.
I have a 350+ cookie cutter collection from a family member that I can't just put in the goodwill box. Have never sold anything on eBay and no desire to start. Scrolling through this thread looking for a brilliant idea.

I don't know what to do. I feel like if I break this up it's just another part of a sweet old lady gone forever, but I'm also an estate sale person, so I really appreciate others treasure being treasured by the next person.
For everyone's afternoon viewing pleasure. I pulled all the North Louisiana books out, can't have y'all heathens dancing and drinking to our godly recipes. Obviously a joke, but she really does have everything from North LA from Vicksburg to Waskom. Tons from Arkansas, Mississippi, and pretty much every state is represented.
I actually laughed out loud when I pulled this one out.

Any folks on this board from the Jennings area might want one of those Acadian Bi-Centennial cookbooks, published in 1955. Recipes submitted by a number of recognizable local family names.

Jean Durkee, who wrote the Tout de Suite cookbooks and a third called Voila, just passed away last week. You probably have Voila in there somewhere. FYI.

I know someone who would enjoy that blue Pilot Club of Coushatta book. If you'd part with it, send me a line to Twenty49 at yahoo dot com and let me know what you want for it.
