[QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 208557, member: 136"]Carrie, I'm sorry, but yours sound as if they're pretty well gone... If a mouse has been at them, I would just put them out with the recycling. (Mind you, that's just me, but sometimes, some of us simply need reassurance that it's okay just to throw old stuff away!) A couple of years ago, when I was trying very hard to downsize, I had quite a few of these recipe booklets and folders (more than a hundred, actually) that had belonged to my grandmother.

Yes, Carrie, I [I]am[/I] kidding (sort of) but you seem to have SO much stuff to go thru, and this may be the time for you to "choose your battles", so to speak...
