CHOCOLATE: THE CONSUMING PASSION

written and illustrated by SANDRA BOYNTON

Who can resist chocolate-loving hippos? I certainly cannot and suspect many others would feel the same. This book still cracks me up, as it makes me reach for chocolate. The only reason I can part with this paperback is because I am keeping my hardcover edition.

This was bought new and is in very good condition. I take excellent care of my books in my smoke-free environment.

Notes on condition:

cover: glossy stiff paper is crisp & clean, no marks or dents

interior pages: clean & crisp, no marks or tears

glued binding: all pages secure

Please see photos to get a sense of the great condition and amusing text and illustrations.

I am happy to combine shipping to save my buyers money. Books can easily be combined and pack well together. Media mail is a very affordable rate offered by the USPS. Cost is based solely on weight and does not vary with distance. If buying multiple books, please put them in your cart and then "request total from seller". I will then send you an invoice with an adjusted shipping cost. 

However, I have been told that if you are ordering from a phone, it may not be possible to request such a total. If that is your situation, please go ahead and pay the shipping as billed. Then, when I process your order, I will calculate the difference between shipping paid versus actual cost, and refund you any difference.
