I received my great grandmothers cookbook. It is well loved and the first 20 pages are missing. So I do not have the copyright page. I have looked on ebay and there are a number of these cookbooks from the early 1900s (1904, 1906, 1922, &1924)… however they have the same cover. Is there something else I can look for within the book to help determine its year? It is the Boston Cooking School cookbook by Fannie Merritt Farmer.

With the beginning missing, your best bet is to compare the index to copies of each edition. If you can find a library which has them, ask them to use the index and tell you the page number of three recipes, which are in different parts of your book. The last page number in the book may also be enough to distinguish the editions.

When I was directed to a 5 minute chocolate cake recipe
http://www.dizzy-dee.com/recipe/chocolate-cake-in-5-minutes
(microwaved in a mug) where everything was in tablespoons, the discussion made it clear that some people got very bad results and several brought up that different countries have different sized tablespoons and they and this page
http://www.sizes.com/food/kitchen_measure.htm say that a dry tablespoon in Britain is bigger than a wet one since dry measure is rounded (not heaping which is different)
American measure is standardized at level teaspoons, tablespoons and cups (courtesy of the standard set in the Boston Cooking School Cookbook) for dry and wet and there are 3 teaspoons to the tablespoon, 16 tablespoons to the cup which is 8 fluid ounces, so a tablespoon is half a fluid ounce.
The page above says Britain uses 2/2/2
I can find references to Australia, what does South Africa and any other place use? Level or rounded?
Recipe site is that of a South African lady – reason for that request.

In all my experience of cooking at home and culinary school in Canada, a tablespoon is measured levelled off.

One tablespoon is equal to 15 millilitres (mL). A teaspoon is done the same, and is equal to 5mL.
