Off-Topic Used Cookbooks

[pharma_gal]

Where is the best place to buy some used cookbooks? I’ve looked at my library and they hardly have any cookbooks. I’d like to get some especially the instant pot ones. Thanks!

I've bought nice used cookbooks from Amazon in the past.

My library has book sales once or twice a year, and they have a lot of cookbooks for sale - things that have been donated to them.

I bought a couple of recipe books by the Pioneer Woman earlier this year from Amazon. Look at their list of used copies of the book you would like to see if they have inexpensive used copies.

You could try thriftbooks.com. They are better for fiction books, but you never know.

I've found some great used cookbooks at Goodwill stores. Walmart online has great pricing for new books. I just recently purchased Joy of Cooking 75th year anniversary. I got it from the library first to see if I would like it. It is my favorite one to date.

You can also check abebooks.com. It is a network of online used book sellers.

Have you tried your local Half Price Books? They have new & used cookbooks at cheap prices. I've purchased many cookbooks from them, most new for under $7.

There is a similar site called Alibris.

Facebook marketplace and Goodwill.

I find a lot at Goodwill.

Also, try checking out the cookbooks you are interested in from the library. I have found a lot of times cookbooks I thought I would have been interested in - use too many ingredients, are too complicated or contain nothing new. This has saved me a lot of money and shelf space.

If you have a cook or chef you are interested in - check the web - many have free recipes on line.

I find them at library sales, yard sales, Goodwill. Often brand new, never even opened, with an inscription to a woman from a man. Some husband trying to give his wife a not so subtle hint about her cooking? Her loss was my gain.
