I will be happy to combine books for you, to save on shipping costs.  Please let me know, so that I can package and weigh them together.  I only charge for the cost of postage, nothing is added (not even for the cost of the 'bubble mailers'.

 

For example, usually 2 or 3 books (or more, depending on size) can be combined without increasing the postage, as Media Mail goes by the pound and not just ounces.

I have collected cookbooks since I was 17 years old, for over 50 years.  It is now time to part with them so that my family won't have to deal with them.  

 

I will slowly be listing them over the next few months (there are a few thousand of them), so come back often to check out what gems may be listed.
