Buying/Selling

Looking to sell your older cookbooks?  Well, thanks for thinking of us!

While our focus is on Southern and community and charitable cookbooks, we often also buy cookbooks we think are just too cool to pass up.  We are always looking for ways to expand our cookbook inventory.

Firstly, it is important to note that we only purchase books in new or excellent condition.  This generally means that dust covers are present, the binding is tight and not damaged, and the pages are not marked or stained...nor do the books smell of cigarette smoke or display any moisture damage.  But, honestly, if your Mama or Nana loved a specific cookbook so much that it's marked up and full of spills, you should seriously consider keeping it anyway.  At some point in the future, you'll want to taste her snickerdoodles again, we promise.

The process for selling us cookbooks is simple. Please send us an inquiry with a list of titles, author, and general condition. 

If you prefer not to prepare a list, you can also send pictures of the books clearly displaying front cover and binding to our email.  Once we have an opportunity to review your email, we will contact you via email with which titles we might be interested in.  If an offer is made, we can arrange for payment terms via PayPal or Venmo.

Please note that we do not provide information or estimates on the value of cookbooks or collections for outside purposes.
