A: I spoke with Greg Frederick, who created That Pickle Guy, and he told me that Costco paused the Classic Olive Muffalata. Whether Costco will decide to bring it back for 2026 is unknown at this point. Currently, your only options are to get it through Amazon or directly via thatpickleguy.com. If you order three 24-ounce jars at $13.99 each, the flat shipping rate is $9.99. You get free shipping if you order six or more jars.
Q: I have an antique prayer book that belonged to my grandmother. It is well over 100 years of age. The prayer book needs to be restored and rebound. I am 90 years young, and I have always treasured the prayer book. I am hoping that you can help me out. Best regards. — Neil Foster, Marietta

Her waiting list is substantial, so even if you contact her then, you might not get your binding done until later in the summer or fall. Before starting her own business, she worked at Big River Bindery, where she learned owner Andrew Huot’s expert book repair and preservation methods. Bortner restores Bibles, children’s books, photo albums, other book-related projects and damaged documents. For more information, go to cbbookworks.com.
