Consumer Price Increases in 2022

Posted by EstateBooks on 26 June 2022

We've all felt the increase in consumer prices impacting everyday items such as food and fuel. While the US Post Office is still the most economical way to ship books, the postal rate increase scheduled for July 10th will pass some of the increased costs onto shippers, and ultimatley anyone purchasing books online. If you have been thinking of purchasing a few books, now is a great time to buy ahead of the upcoming rate increase.

We have endavored to keep costs low given the books in my late father's collection were acquired some time ago, but the costs for packaging and incidentals also increase over time and may need to be reflected in minimum costs at some point. In any event, used books represent a great value over new books especially given they can be reused or donated over and over again. Hopefully topping up on value books leaves you enough to top up your tank while still providing great entertainment.
