Where to look for Vintage Cookbooks in Spanish?
I'm trying to find some vintage Cookbooks printed in Spanish from the 30's, 40's and 50's for a present. After many google searches I can only seem to find vintage Cookbook sites in English only. Likewise, the vintage book shops in town have nothing in other languages.
Would anyone know a good place to search? Thanks in advance.

I collect vintage books (birding books, though) and I speak spanish; I usually find good results in ebay.es
I have checked for you on cocina books, and have found these: http://www.ebay.es/sch/Otros-Libros-antiguos-/269/i.html?_nkw=cocina
the page is in spanish, so it conveniently filters books in spanish for you.
If you are interested in one of the books http://www.ebay.es/itm/DR-A-VANDER-COCINA-MODERNA-/230916243325?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_186&hash=item35c3ae3f7d
and want to proceed with a purchase, change the domain in the URL to ebay.com http://www.ebay.com/itm/DR-A-VANDER-COCINA-MODERNA-/230916243325?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_186&hash=item35c3ae3f7d and voilà!

Answer 2
What you need to be doing is searching in Spanish, I'm not a Spanish speaker but Google translations gives this result "libros de cocina de época" when I translate from "vintage cookbooks".
One of the first results is this page:http://www.iberlibro.com/libros/libros-cocina.shtml which again for a non-Spanish speaker is hard to understand but it looks to me like either a Spanish Ebay or Amazon.
Hope you find what you are looking for.
