Good stuff guys. I have to check these books out and get one for myself. I don't have a cookbook 
Style, please share w/ us your cooking/eating style, your skill level, your interests and any foods you'd like to try, and we'll recommend a book (or books) for you!
I now buy 100% of my cookbooks online used from Amazon. I rarely spend over 5 bucks for a cookbook (Amazon also charges a flat-rate of $3.99 for shipping of any sized book) and they almost always arrive in like new, or near new condition. I will likely never pay full-price for a brand new cookbook ever again! Not when I can get $30, $40 and $50 cookbooks used a year or two old for next to free!
I just went into my Amazon account folder and cut/pasted this... in case you're curious, here are links for many of the cookbooks I've bought this past year- note the prices for them if purchased new- and I didn't pay over 5 bucks for ANY of my copies!

Okay guys- normally I allow myself the l'il spending luxury of buying 1-2 USED cookbooks per month from Amazon. I like to keep it under ten bucks- which is pretty easy to do since even large-format $50 books at Amazon can be just 5 bucks, when buying them USED!
My mind is drawing a blank right now, though.
I like most any type of cookbook- especially if it's loaded w/ photographs!
Any fun/interesting recommendations that meet my criteria?

Well there are these cookbooks by Lee Bailey:D;) I am enjoying a cookbook by Emilio and Gloria Estefan on Cuban Cusine, it is colorful and loaded with good recipes, I just wish there were alot more pages in it though!!! So don't pay too awful much for it Kev if you do decide to go for it!

That's Great!!!! Ill have to browse around the section and see what there is. I, like you, prefer books with lots of pictures. It gives me a visual of the final item.
