    Description

    Please note:  I usually scan my books.  For some reason my scanner sometimes picks up shadows or yellowing (as with some older books) and make them look wrinkled or pinkish.  If the photos look pinkish/discolored, it is a scanner problem; and not necessarily a problem with the book itself.  I will list any age yellowing, bends, etc. in each auction when needed.
    From “A Guide to Collecting Cookbooks by Colonel Bob Allen” ~
    “The Lever Brothers Company of Cambridge, Massachusetts was established in 1895.  In 1935 the Lever Brothers Company began manufacturing Spry shortening packaged in 1 lb., 3 lb. and 6 lb. cans with a green & yellow label.  During World War II, with a shortage of metals, the product was packaged in jars with the green and yellow label.  In 1949 the blue and white checked label was introduced.  In 1955 on their 20
    th
    anniversary, the label was changed to a red and white with two gold stripes.  By 1952 the Lever Brothers Company, Spry Division was located in New York, New York.
    In 1942 Spry introduced Aunt Jenny as their spokes-woman.  The Spry kitchen opened in 1949 and was a proving ground for Spry’s all-purpose use in cookery.”

    My 4 collector value books (price guides) are from 1998-2008 and I have not found an updated value guide yet

    I will be happy to combine books for you, to save on shipping costs.  Please let me know, so that I can package and weigh them together.  I only charge for the cost of postage, nothing is added (not even for the cost of the 'bubble mailers'.
    For example, usually 2 or 3 books (depending on size) can be combined without increasing the postage, as Media Mail goes by the pound and not just ounces.

    I have collected cookbooks since I was 17 years old, for nearly 50 years.  It is now time to part with them so that my family won't have to deal with them.
    Proceeds will be used toward my Granddaughter’s college tuition
    (she just finished her 2nd year in Elementary Education & Early Childhood Development on the Dean's List, while working 2 jobs)
    .
    I will be slowly be listing them over the next few months (there are a few thousand of them), so come back often to check out what gems may be listed.
