A post written by NO_Pam about the obsessive hoarding of cookbooks got me thinking about my cookbooks. I'm a young and struggling freelance writer so I never have a lot of money to blow on luxuries like cookbooks (they're so expensive), but I still find a way to purchase them often. I've found massive, hardback French cookbooks on sale at Borders for fifty percent off, this past week I found a Jacques Pépin cookbook at a used bookstore inside the library for a buck, I've found vegetarian cookbooks at thriftstores. My point being, I find a way to purchase beautiful cookbooks without having to shell out loads of dough. Though I would kill to be able to purchase new cookbooks. I've been dreaming about the French Laundry cookbook for months now. Anyhow, where does everyone get their cookbooks; bookstores, online? And where can you find the best deals on new cookbooks?
