Favorite Books -- What's yours? Part 2

I think that Paul Kirk's "Championship Barbecue Sauces" is the one "must have" book on your list. His comprehensive explanation of spices, rubs, marinades, etc.is very helpful to novices, like myself. I especially like his Resource Guide, listing various companies that sell hard to find spices. Also there is a good diverse selection of recipes in the book. By the way even though it's not a book I'd like to mention Chile Pepper magazine as something that may interest you. They have a Barbecue issue every June. It's filled with recipes & some nice articles & photos about real barbecue. You can find this magazine at any good bookstore (Barnes & Nobles, etc.) If you're interested you may want to hurry out & buy it as last years issue sold out pretty fast.

Great suggestion! I'll head to barnes and noble today. Chile Heads Unite!
