Up for auction is a 1950 First Edition copy of Betty Crocker's Picture Cook Book. It is in very good, used condition with typical wear to edges/corners, a little cookie dough smudge on the cover (not sure the best way to clean it, so I will leave this to the collector), and some light soiling to the pages with the favorite recipes. The only significant issues I have found are that the soups title page (363) is loose, but complete without tears...and there are several pages with crumbs and traces of ingredients in binding. Spine and binding are good. Everything else should be visible in the large photos. Book is not mint, but in good shape for its age. Measures about 10" by 6 3/4", 1 1/4" thick.
I sell items as-is, as-found and as seen in the pictures. I do not attempt to alter or repair them in anyway. I make every effort to detail any damage or flaws and to include sufficient photos so buyers know what to expect and can bid with confidence.
QUESTIONS?
If the photos and the description are not clear enough to get a good sense of the item, please contact me and ask any questions you might have before you place any bids. I will try to answer as well as I can, as promptly as I can. I will post all relevant questions in the Q/A section below pictures.
RETURNS?
I do not offer a return option unless I have mis-represented the item in some way. I do my best to accurately and honestly describe items that I place up for auction and I try to include enough photos to assist the interested bidder in making a sound decision. If you receive item and have concerns and/or the item is not as described...please, contact me and let me know by using the "ask seller a question" button in the auction. I am always willing to work things through to a positive outcome for everybody.
PAYMENT?
The only payment method I accept is PayPal, you will need an account to bid on the item. Payment needs to be made within 3 days of auction end. If there is a complication with payment, please email me to make arrangements.
PACKING?
Items will be well wrapped and padded (if necessary). I will cover the cost of insurance for US shipping if item value exceeds $100.
SHIPPING?
I am generally available to ship on Tuesday or Friday (occasionally other week days) and do not ship on weekends. Payment needs to clear in my PayPal account before I ship. I only ship USPS, both Priority and Parcel Post...depending on weight/size of item. I try to calculate the best rate in order to save buyers some money. Buyer is responsible for shipping cost (unless otherwise noted)...this cost should be clearly stated at top of page.
I like receiving positive feedback and like to give it...hopefully this information clears the air for a friendly transaction.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING:
This will be calculated after auction ends. Please, do not ask how much it will cost to ship to your country during auction, this information should be provided below in the "Shipping & Handling" section below photos. If you win the auction I will calculate the cost then and send you an invoice. I only ship USPS either Priority International (for insured items or items over 4 pounds) or First-Class International (items under $100 and less than 4 pounds). I always claim full selling price on customs forms, buyer is responsible for any/all fees and taxes incured through customs. Also, I require international bidders with zero feedback or less than 95% positive feedback or without recent feedback to pay with money-orders.
Kind Regards, Best of Luck and Cheers!
