Question about ITJB

Good evening all. Does anyone know if Inside The Jewish Bakery is still available as a printed book? I have bought the individual sections off of Amazon, which is meh. I would rather have the physical book. Not to mention, I feel like the electronic version is missing some material.

I have Googled this, and came across the official ITJB website, but the purchase link doesnt work. I went to Camino Publishers and they only seem to have it in sections, just like Amazon. 

I have searched by the ISBN#, and no luck,

I found a used book website that wants around $100 for it. I aint paying that much. 

Anyone? Thanks!

As far as I am aware. I have periodically looked for it and never seen a copy for less than $90 or so.

You can contact the author, Stanley Ginsberg, at his TheRyeBaker.com site and ask if he still has copies for sale.  I did not find his books offered directly, but did not inquire, either.

Good Luck

Given the prices quoted, it would be cost-effective to print the ebook on a laser printer and spiral bind it.

I agree, if, and this is a big IF, you could track down the full version. The Amazon "sections" is missing recipes and information.

So I went to The Rye Baker, and reached out via the chat box if its still available. I hope all is well with Stanley. His last post on that site was 2020.

Ill report back, if I hear anything, just incase anyone else is looking.

I have the book and would be willing to part with it.  Email me at wmgloy@outlook.com and we'll see if we can work out a deal

An update!

So, I took some suggestions up above. I reached out to Stanley, and unfortunately did not hear back from him. Certainly hope all is well. I also attempted to contact Camino Books. I called numerous times. No answer. I also tried Google and a few other misc. websites. No dice.

I contacted "greyoldchief", who wanted to PM me. We worked out a very fair price for the book, and its now in my possession. The transaction was absolutely painless.  

Its a wonderful book that will be used on a regular basis. I hope that Norm and Stan would be proud. Passing on knowledge, from one generation of bakers, to the next generation of bakers.
