One more comment, David, to add to this excellent compilation. As you mentioned, many of these books are, alas, out of print and not easily available. Among other sources that I've found useful is the very excellent Rabelais Books in Biddeford, Maine (rabelaisbooks.com) with an extensive online catalog, overseen by Don Lindgren's expertise in old and antiquarian books about food and wine. His shop in the old Pepperell Mill complex is also great for a visit, with a bunch of good eating places close by.

I use Thriftbooks com. I recently purchased near-pristine copies of Cuisine of the Sun and Cuisine of the Rose from them, each for a very low price.
