It seems that a surge of interest is stirring among younger enthusiasts as they diligently hunt through thrift stores, splurge on steep prices via Amazon, and even engage in fierce bidding battles on eBay in a fervent quest to acquire a coveted copy. Sellers are demanding approximately $200 for pre-owned editions, while pristine, untouched copies are commanding prices exceeding $1,000. One fortunate TikTok user, Emily Belloma of @emilyjobelloma, managed to secure a copy of the sought-after cookbook at a library sale, enhancing her cherished collection. “The enduring quality of the content she has cultivated over the span of her career remains unparalleled. Her unwavering commitment to excellence and the timeless allure of a great recipe truly resonate,” she expressed. In response to the recent whirlwind of enthusiasm, Crown Publishing Group has announced plans to reissue the cookbook, slated to hit the shelves this October. However, the fervor doesn’t end with this iconic Martha Stewart creation — her other early masterpieces such as ‘Weddings’, ‘Entertaining’ (1998), and ‘Gardening’, amongst others, are witnessing a surge in demand on popular online platforms like Amazon and eBay. If perchance you happen to possess an extra copy of one of these esteemed titles by the domestic goddess herself, you may very well be harboring a small fortune. Yet, if you opt to retain possession of these treasures (a decision we wholeheartedly understand!), exercise caution and handle them with extra care, for these gems hold significant monetary value.
