This is primarily a shout-out for [livejournal.com profile] kebbykate and [livejournal.com profile] cad_red_ducati, but once they've staked their claims, if any, my readers at large are invited as well.

I have a LOT of cookbooks. Most of these were from [livejournal.com profile] gerbil_lady, something like fifteen years ago, when she moved away from Hobbiton, as [livejournal.com profile] kebbykate calls it.

Well, I'll be moving from my six-bedroom money pit to a 3-bedroom place in Hobbiton, and I think it's time to let go of three full shelves of cookbooks.

I just went through the shelves and put the ones I wanted to keep into a box. The ones left on the shelves are up for grabs.

[livejournal.com profile] kebbykate and [livejournal.com profile] cad_red_ducati, if you want to grab any of your mom's ancestral cookbooks (there are many Asian ones), please let me know when you can come by to pick them out. There are also a great many vegetarian cookbooks, and some historicals, along with a bunch of really random choices.

Please come take some off my hands!

Once I hear from the sisters, I'll send you a list of the remainder. Pay me for shipping and they're yours. I am in the midst of a MASSIVE declutter here and trying to get money for things is the least of my concerns.

If you have Enchanted Broccoli Forest, ours got covered in a oozing old banana and had to be tossed. I'd pay postage.

Some of them are popular food history things, some are Gallery of Regrettable Food type vintage pamphlets... if unclaimed I'll bring a box to Beginning of Summer.

[livejournal.com profile] kriz1818 collects vintage pamphlet cookbooks, particularly ones that came with appliances (crockpots, stoves, etc.)

How about I divvy them out so [livejournal.com profile] kriz1818 gets the appliance ones and [livejournal.com profile] tamidon gets the ingredient ones? There ought to be enough Regrettable Food for each of them that way!

Cookbooks? I would totally be interested in the historicals. I'm off from work on Tuesday, and that's my day off this week (gee, wonder why I've been ill with a virus since Thursday?). Would that work for you at all? I have to take the new car on a good lengthed trip, after all. ^_^

sweetie, I'm keeping my SCA standard texts (Good Huswife's Jewel, Epulario, De Honesta Voluptate) but there is a copy of a glossy hardcover Medieval Food you might like, although its authenticity is dubious -- the recipes have been redacted and have decidedly out of period things like baking powder, IIRC.

But I'd love to see you, & I'll be home by 3PM at the latest.

I would totally be on the road already, except I realized I have no directions for your house. Can you give me a call when you get in?

I don't know how early in the afternoon -- I don't like to guarantee I'll be home before 3.
