I have a list of a ton of books and cook books that I would, one day, like to own. The other day I was searching around to find the best price on a few of the cook books I wanted to order. I was disappointed when the price on the books I wanted was much higher than I expected! Then I found a post on Tumblr about a website that sells thrift books, in great condition, for a much lower price! I immediately went to the site and was amazed at what I found!
This wonderful website is called Thrift Books . It offers a huge selection of books in every genre at a discounted price. When you go to order a book, it will give you a few price options, depending on the condition of the book. The better condition the book is in, the higher the price, but not by too much!
I ordered two books: Chloe's Kitchen by Chloe Coscarelli, and Veganomicon by Isa Moskowitz and Terry Romero. Both are vegan cookbooks, full of wonderful and easy to make recipes! For both books, I paid a litter over eighteen dollars, and the books were in great condition! Just to put that in perspective, the larger book, Veganomicon, is around twenty-eight dollars new!
The two books arrived separately, Chloe's Kitchen getting here first! It only took about a week or so for them to arrive, perfect for someone who finds it hard to wait! I was so excited, and I couldn't wait to try out a recipe!
We had company coming that day, so I decided to make something from the dessert section of Chloe's Kitchen. I used the recipe for the Chocolate-Chip Brownie Bites, but made them into brownie squares instead of bites! Then I topped them with a peppermint/dairy-free chocolate frosting! They were so rich and delicious, I couldn't believe something that good could be vegan!
Our company and my family loved the brownies, and no one knew they were vegan at all! It just goes to show that vegans can cook, eat, and serve delicious and indulgent food!
I am very happy with my purchases from Thrift Books! Both books are in great condition, and arrived sooner than expected! The website is easy to use, and has a huge selection of books! No matter what you are looking for, I bet you can find it there!
I hope you find this post helpful! I love sharing things like this with others, in the hopes that it helps at least someone out! Please share this post with someone who loves to read, and my blog with your friends and family to spread the love of a healthy lifestyle!
