What do cookbooks leave out?

For years, I couldn't make crispy potatoes in the oven, then figured out that I had to rinse and dry them first. No cookbook mentioned this. I am probably complicit in this problem, as I have edited many cookbooks. What have you figured out on your own that books didn't tell you?
