Nice, Nan... ENJOY! I'm itchin' to get a copy too! Gotta get my order in before the USED ones all go bye-bye!
KYH- I can't tell ya how many "USED" books I've gotten from both Amazon and Barnes & Noble. Probably well over 50. And I tell ya- I've never received one that didn't look pretty pristine. The most unfavorable condition I have EVER received one in was a black marker "Water-Mark" on the Edge of the pages, opposite the spine. My hunch is that books that sit for a certain period on store shelves without selling eventually go to some "USED" warehouse where they're then offered for next to nothing. Although one would think thay'd have to take up shelf space for YEARS to be termed unsellable, but I've gotten some that were only a year or so old. I just got Martha Stewart's 12-18 month old, jumbo, lavish "Wedding Cakes" volume- a book I'd wanted since the day it came out, but I remained disciplined and forced myself to wait. Got the $60.00 book for only $19.80, but now I see they're offering USED copies for only $30.00, so I got LUCKY! (For anyone interested, this book is now available as one of the ONE DOLLAR BOOKS you can get as one of your 4 introductory volumes for starting-up a new membership at "The Good Cook"! (If I'd only waited a couple weeks longer!)
