Doggonit, I already have too many unexplored (or barely explored) cookbooks. That said, the prose and ideas of the introduction were well worth $1.99 on their own. Thanks, Toliver. (...I think. I may have to upgrade my storage before long.)

I own the hard bound version of Eric Greenspan's The Great Grilled Cheese Book: Grown-Up Recipes for a Childhood Classic: A Cookbook, so perhaps I'm in that group.

This is a very nice book if you like professional cookbooks from michelin star restaurants. Lots of nice dishes and explanations. Not useful for home cooking, recipes are very difficult and involved.

This is a sort of minor sister to Vivian Howard, the approach is really similar. Content is not top class like on "Deep Run Roots", but still pretty good. Photos are awesome.

Not quite sure what "collection" this refers to  but she's long had newspaper columns, written for various food publications and has tons on her website so there are a lot of her recipes available online - a search on EYB returns a list of over 2,000.  Many, but not all are available for free.
