Funny piece today on Eat Me Daily about the heaviest cookbooks out there and their cost per pound. As expected, The Big Fat Duck Cookbook was the heaviest and most expensive per pound at $13.57. Take a look and see how the other monster books compare.

Another cookbook list you may not have seen was the Village Voice's Top 10 cookbooks of all time. Given the size of my cookbook collection I was surprised I only have five of the top ten though I have nine of the runners up. Do you agree with their choices?

The Eat Me Daily piece rightly calls out "every book ever written by Thomas Keller" -- even Ad Hoc at Home, which contrary to what they say in fact weighs 5 and a half pounds. [And cost $50. when new, for those of you calculating cost per pound.] AHAH's difficulty of use when actually cooking inspired a rant: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/895097#7994310
