Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I live in central Maine. Most thrift shops around here are 1-5$ per book, depending on what it is. This specific shop is in a small town, about 2,500 people. I think the shop is run by a church. They sell all books at $.25 each, paperbacks, hardcovers, cookbooks, craftbooks, magazines etc. Most of their items are donated from the community, with lots of older books from peoples attics. I also check fleamarkets/auctions for books and other stuff (I also collect vintage glassware, kitchenware, jewelry, and metalcrafts) Most of the time I find some great deals. Sometimes you can find inexpensive books at shops the specialize in antiques or collectables (the ones that rent booths to people, not shops that sell items from one owner and are often more expencive) This type of shop has a great variety and lots of hidden treasures I love shopping for old stuff, I normally check a few shops a week, or whenever I get a chance. I'd love to hear where everyone else finds cookbook deals, not that I need any more April , s h <angeldove37 wrote: April where do you live?

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 I find them for as low as a dollar plus shipped at www.half.com, garage sales, library books sales and thrift shops. It's funny, people are always giving me their used cookbooks, most of the women I work with don't cook and they love when I bring something in and often they will give me a cookbook.
