I have a nice library of Cook's Illustrated Magazines from my friend's estate. There are 112 separate issues, including the Charter issue (#1) and the Premier issue (#2), almost all in mint condition (2-3 have small tears and some have mailing labels still attached, although these peel off fairly easily). Arguably the best - certainly one of the best - cooking magazines ever produced. There are 6 of the first 117 issues missing (I did not check on these specific issues, but individual issues are available, used, on-line for 75c - $4.00 each, if you want to complete the library.
In addition to the Cook's Illustrated, I have 15 issues of the Entertaining quarterly magazine published by the same company and 9 assorted special editions on specific topics.
The 136 magazines and soft-bound books would total $882 at cover price.
I am selling them as a collected library. PRICE NOW REDUCED TO $50.00 firm
I also have a collection from the same estate of Fine Cooking magazines, also in magazine holders. There are 38 issues from #74 (O/N '05) to #122 (A/M '13). Selling these 38 issues all together, in holders, for $10.00 or you can have them with the Cook's Illustrated library.
If this ad is still up, the item is available; please do not contact me just to ask that.
If you are interested, either call or email (no texts). I usually check my computer a few times each day, or you can often reach me quicker by calling the house phone between 7am and 8pm. (click ‘reply’, then ‘show phone number’)
