I do to Kev.
I ordered two more of the taste of home books a few days ago. I got soups, stews and casseroles and 2008 winners I think. I also got Ina's back to basics and one called Carmines that was italian recipes. I also ordered that artisan bread in 5 minutes a day.

I want Ina's newest book too, janie- but I've been waiting for USED copies to come down a wee-bit more in price. I like to buy when they come in under 10 bucks. I've got 2-3 others by Ina- but I need her Basics one, and also her Paris one...

I ordered THREE Michael Chiarello cookbooks a few days back. All $40.00 to $55.00 books I got USED for under 9 dollars each! What a STEAL! Here they are:

Amazon.com: Michael Chiarello's Casual Cooking: Michael Chiarello, Deborah Jones, Janet Fletcher: Books

Amazon.com: At Home with Michael Chiarello: Easy Entertaining: Michael Chiarello, Karl Petzke: Books

Amazon.com: Napa Stories: Profiles, Reflections, and Recipes from the Napa Valley: Michael Chiarello, Steven Rothfeld, Janet Fletcher: Books

I also ordered an over-sized coffee-table book on European Cemeteries. Call me morbid- but I love graveyards- and cemetery sculpture and art... Can't wait to get all these books!

That is not morbid, but I would rather think interesting! My Dad used to take all 5 of us children to cemetaries and show us unique and historical things. I like to visit very old cemetaries, it is a lesson in how great we have it now-a-days in so many ways that we forget. For instance we stubbled across this old home cemetary plot out in California, it had homemade tombstones from way back during the early settlers peroid. The number of children and infants laid to rest in that plot was unhead of in todays world. It made me sad, and thankful at the same time. Back then medicine wasn't even available for streph throat and tosilitis, and ear aches. I gave a little prayer of thanks and paid my respects to those poor souls I never even knew, and was humbled. We all have so much to be greatful for.

I got my new cookbooks in the mail yesterday.
I got Ina's new one Back to Basics, Taste of Home Casseroles, Slow Cooker and Soups, Taste of Home Winning Recipes, Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day & Carmines Family Style Cookbook.
I have to get a couple of things before I can try the Artisan bread recipes. I am very pleased with all of the new books.

janie- did you get them used at Amazon or were they your free introductories for a new club membership? I would love ALL of these books!

I received my 3 Michael Chiarello cookbooks and the European Cemetery book- and haven't had a chance to dive deep into any of them yet, but at first glance, I have great first impressions!

The Good Cook bookclub made me an offer I couldnt refuse lol. I even got a handy little cooler tote with my order. Your MC books sound awesome! I bet the European Cemetary book is very interesting.
Ina's book is wonderful. Easy recipes and ingredients I can actually get my hands on for the most part. A few things are out of my price range but most of them are things I can afford.
Taste of Home Casseroles ... Loaded with so many good recipes for casseroles, soups and stews. Im not a fan of casseroles but my husband and father in law love them. Casseroles are also wonderful to take to friends and family. I love soups and stews.
Taste of Home Winning Recipes - Yet another book loaded with tons of great recipes. I love this book.
Taste of Home Classics - I picked this one up at SAMS. Highly recommend this book. Easy delish recipes especially the dessert section.
Carmines - I am really looking forward to trying these. Some of the recipes are kinda huge so I will have to cut them in half.
Artisan Bread in Five Min a Day - I have to get a baking stone and a pizza peel before I try this.

I just received an order from Good Cook too. I especially like the Mark Bittman books. All of the Taste of Home books are useful to me as well.
