One book I have found really useful is "How To Cook Meat" by Chris Schlesinger and John Willoughby. It covers a lot more than a typical BBQ book, so it is useful for those times when you want something grilled, fryed, stewed, sauted, steamed, etc.
This link takes you to the paper back edition, but if you'll take hard cover, it is available used/overstock for about $7.00. Look at the "editions" tag under the picture and go to used/new.

BTW, all the books by these guys are interesting. I also suggest their book, "Lettuce In Your kitchen", even though there's not a single smoked item in it.
