I also have a penchant for cookbooks. My all time fav is the Best of Cooks Illustrated. I have a ceiling to floor bookcase that I have cleaned out on more than one occasion.

I managed to buy a book twice, for cooking and for the pictures. I have some ideas to save the books from dirt and make it possible to use them at the same time. a) buy a big transparent plastic wrapper of those with a button for art students. Place the book inside and you can enjoy the pictures while cooking. Disadvantage: you cant´t change the page with dirty hands if it is longer than 2 pages. b) go to a copyshop and make copies of the pages you need for cooking. Your book stays clean and you can cook. Disadvantage: no beautiful enjoyable pictures for while cooking except you have the money to make a full- coloured copy. Good luck! Your fellow cookbook obsessed Elisa from Germany I share your love for cookbooks and pictures.

I've cut back a little because I was running out of room, but I'm adding that cookbook to my wish list, just for the cover. OK, add me to the cookbook fanatic list.

I'll buy them just for the beautiful photos many of them have. Even some pattern books -- patterns which I probably would never make -- have an alluring power over me if the photo shoots are of the models are in locales that make me melt and fall in love. :) I have the same type of obsession, but mostly with yarn/knitting/fiber-related books.

You are right about it being a great one to just look at too even if you don't want to cook with it and risk getting it dirty. Oh I love this cookbook!
