Store Description

Welcome to my wonderful on-line book store! It is filled mostly with Cook Books of all sorts and from many countries around the world. We also have an excellent and interesting collection of Fiction and Non- Fiction books that touch on many subjects. Our books are arranged in catalogues and they all have accurate condition descriptions, as well as a little something about the contents of the book. First-class packaging is a priority. Shipping is expensive but you can maximize you shipping dollars by purchasing more than one book at a time. Within Canada 4 books from our collection (up to 5 Kgs in weight) can be shipped for the same cost as one book. Outside of Canada the second book will ship more or less at half-price, it all depends on the weight and destination. I hope you enjoy your visit with us and if you would like more information about a book or have shipping questions just e-mail me at: cookbook@intergate.ca I'm always glad to help, Valerie
