As @AuntMame suggested I really like Fix it and Forget it, found 2 different versions on Amazon.

I'm a cookbook junkie and my "go to" for books is Thrift Books, a subsidiary of Amazon.  Great used books of all kinds at great prices (that vary with quality), free shipping if you spend $15, and deals to earn free books.  Also, if there is ever an issue with your order they will fix it.  One time I ordered 3 cook books and they sent me 3 novels.  They told me to keep the novels, which I donated to the library, and they sent me the correct books at no charge.  Another time I got a book with missing pages and they told me to keep it and they replaced it at no charge. My favorite place to buy books and have been buying from them for years.


Didn't know that Thriftbooks is now a subsidiary of Amazon. 

 

They are a good source for cookbooks. Ebay in general is a wonderful source for buying vintage cookbooks. 

 

Good to hear you've had good experiences with Thriftbooks. 

 

I once bought a John Grisham novel or something similar from them. They sent me this humongous economics textbook instead. They wouldn't send me my novel until they had received the return of the economics textbook. It was honking heavy and a huge hassle to ship as I don't drive. After they received it they told me they had shipped the novel to someone else--probably the person who had purchased the economics textbook--and I was out of luck.  


Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience with Thrift Books.  😟  I guess I've been lucky or they've improved their customer service over the years.  I know that sometimes they only get one or two copies of a certain book over a 6 month period so maybe that's what happened to you.  I always get updates on what I have saved for future purchase and they let me know when a book is sold out, if another copy has come in, or if there has been a price change.  I've always gotten a credit or a refund for their errors and over the years it's always been a good place for me. 😊
