That is a very good deal, plus shipping is free.  Unfortunately, the timing isn't right for me just now ... and I don't really need them, but it's usually difficult for me to pass up on a truly good deal. Thanks for the link and the info.

I don't truly need them, either, but that hasn't stopped me before, and didn't this time, either. What tipped the scale was W-S's bonus coupon for signing up for their email list -- 15% off plus free shipping, which took an already-good $99.95 down to $84.96 plus tax. The down side, such as it is, is that the pans won't ship until approximately November 5. Learning to deal with delayed gratification is good, so they say.

Gene Weingarten, writing in the Washington Post about online news stories and the accompanying readers' comments: "I basically like 'comments,' though they can seem a little jarring: spit-flecked rants that are appended to a product that at least tries for a measure of objectivity and dignity. It's as though when you order a sirloin steak, it comes with a side of maggots."

Prompted by a post from @Anna N in another thread, I took a peek to see what I could find very inexpensively for my Kindle. Most likely to be of interest here are Dorie Greenspan's Baking Chez Moi ($2.99) and Peter Reinhart's Artisan Breads ($1.99).

Wow. Couldn't resist the Greenspan even though I have it in hardcover.

Are you two talking about the above-linked bookdepository.com?  I only see paperback and hardbound books as an option.

No. This is Kindle ebook format, from Amazon.

 

And like Anna, I couldn't resist the Greenspan either. Better for drooling on my pillow at night. :biggrin:

And in one of those embarassing discoveries found the bread book already on my Kindle!  But I was led to a bread recipe that I have to try.  So double thanks.

*Sigh* Greenspan's book is on its way to my tablet, along with Jenn Louis' Pasta by Handir?t=egulletcom-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B00PMUG4B.  $2.99 Kindle books are difficult to resist!  I look, say, at a recipe or a map, and think: "Yeah, I'd pay 3 bucks for that."  And I can travel with it. What more justification could I need?

I just wonder how one discoveries these incredible  bargains except by happenstance. But perhaps it's better I don't know.xDxD

Gaah!  The Perfect Peach: Recipes and Stories from the Masumoto Family Farmir?t=egulletcom-20&l=am2&o=1&a=B00AP2XVM is only $1.99 today!  Of course it's in my tablet now.  For those of you who don't know, David Mas Masumoto and his family are peach farmers in California's Central Valley, not far from where I grew up.  His essays and books make lovely reading, and I have at least one other of his books.  I didn't know they had a cookbook out, until now. If I like the Kindle version well enough, I'll be buying a hardbound copy or two.  For gifts, of course.

 

I simply must stop looking at that darned Amazon website. If my tablet were a shopping bag, it would be bursting with today's prizes.

Search for Pam Corbin in Kindle books.

Still no hits. Not to worry. My bank account is happier.

Thanks I went for the River Cottage book

That is interesting because what I am seeing from your link is no price given for the Kindle edition and over on the top right a notation that this book is not available for sale.    Perhaps I am persona non-grata!   Edited to add screenshot.

Thanks for the tips, guys!  I don't have a Kindle but I've been reading a lot of ebooks from the library on my iPad so I figured I should try out some ecookbooks to see how I like them.

I bought Dorie's book, the Masumoto Farm Perfect Peach book and the River Cottage Preserves book.
