You will also pay a fee, I believe about 60 dollars or so for extra pages, that was intstituted a few years ago. When you renew your passport there is a check box at the top of the form if you want a larger number of pages.

Make an appointment and go to the passport office. It may be more cost efficient to just renew the passport to the 52 page book than pay for the extra pages in the long run depending on how much time you have left on your passport.
It's $82 to add pages, it's $110 to renew.
Plus any expedite fees

A fixed-size supplemental page insert is added so rather than requesting a fixed number of pages, some request more than one supplemental insert at a time.

Renew with larger one. In the meantime, 4 pages should cover 7 - 9 countries. No? Politely ask the customs agents to put the visa stamp close to an existing one and you can get 6 - 8 visas on a single page.

I don't feel quite comfortable mailing the passport in, so I think my game plan is to wait till there are 2 weeks left to my nearest international trip and then schedule an appointment at the passport agency.
I kind of hate the fact that I just got reciprocity visa to Chile in Q1 this year.

Book an appointment while you're overseas. Much, much faster than the insane process that you have to follow while you're in the country.

I just went to the passport agency (Hudson St and Houston/King) and stood in the relatively long, slow-moving line. No one appears to check to see if you have an appointment.
Same thing the next day when I went back for pick-up: No one checking for an appointment, or if you to see if you're picking up, versus applying.

I tried this a year ago. My trip was in 3 days. The nearest appointment was in 3 weeks.
