I'd like to unload:

Great Taste-Low Fat Pasta, Time-Life
Great Taste-Low Fat Chicken, Time-Life
The Joy of Healthy Pasta, Joe Famularo
The Joy of Healthy Grilling, Joe Famularo
Cooking Light Cookbook 1992 :wacko: (which got the Most Insulting Award among the gifts I received for Xmas in 1993)

The others I mentioned previously have been taken, and I edited them out.

I'd love the pressure cooking book! It's gotten abruptly hot here (upper 90s all last weekend, gorgeous!), and since my apartment has no air conditioning I'm getting suddenly very well-acquainted with my new Kuhn Rikon. Sent you an email too. :)

I've got a copy of:
Craig Claiborne and Pierre Franey's "The Master Cooking Course"
hardcover in excellent condition, but a small tear in the dustjacket at the top front. The book is a step by step guide to the preparation of 4 different meals. Any one with an eye for this one?

It is almost this easy, and the more I do it, the easier it gets! I especially like selling books on eBay because you can type in the title, author, or the ISBN, and you will automatically get a description of the book including a stock photo for your listing. Click here to see the book I have up for bid now, utilizing the automatic description plus a brief addition of my own. Of course free is good, but now you can buy or sell a cookbook on eBay, to benefit the eG Society. Take a look here. (You can buy or sell anything on eBay now, as a way to contribute.) ...End of shameless plug. :smile:

i am in the process of minimizing and have some cookbooks that i can no longer use.  if anyone would like them, please pm me with your snail mail address and i will drop them in the box.  right now i have 4 available:

Lancaster County Cookbook

My Own Cook Book - Gladys Taber

Peter Hunt's Cape Cod Cookbook

The Luchow's Cookbook

I would rather send them to a good home with one of you than drop them in the local library book sale.
