Choose Your Cookbook Giveway

My love affair with cookbooks is no secret and I am not ashamed. I will continue to collect them whether I need them or not and if necessary I will move to a larger home to house them. There is something else I must confess....I love to see which cookbooks others own. When I see kitchen shots in magazines, I will squint to read the titles of cookbooks on shelves and have been known to get out the faithful jewelers loop to take a closer look (this is beginning to sound like an illness). So now on to the giveaway...I want to see your cookbooks and in order to do that I am bribing you with a new cookbook of your choice if you win.
I just pulled down a few of my collection to give you an example of how simple this will be. It is not a photo contest of any sort but a glimpse at what kind of cookbooks you own. These can be a few of your favorite, well used ones, or a shot of a bookcase full of ones you just like to look at. In a nutshell, it is about what you like for whatever reason.

Ooooh lovely giveaway Sherri! As soon as it stops raining and we get some decent light I'll take a photo of my VAST collection! I think my addiction may be on a parr with yours - I have over 30 I'm sure! The weight of them has twice broken the shelf they live on!

LOVE your wallpaper!

I have a similar illness, and guess what, you can get Cookbooks on Kindle now! :) yay. My husband calls it a disease, but at least I'm not collecting spoons!

I took a pix of a few of my over 2000 collection. As soon as I can get it to download (have some computer issues) I'll mail the phot to you.

I just counted the ones in my living room and kitchen, and the total is at 79 so far... uh oh...

We had a fire one year ago that turned our lives upside down. A good portion of our possessions, including our cookbooks, is in a pod in the yard still until we finish reconstruction. In fact, I bought my husband, our chef, a cook book not long ago to tide him over until we can get to our collection, so please forgive my submission sans photo. On lone book is not too impressive.
