The books listed by title, author, and ISBN are listed on abebooks.com as a "want". Whenever a bookseller registers a book that matches my search criteria, I get an email that a book has been found. This website is a good source for old, out-of-print, and rare books. Be advised that the out-of-print and rare books will likely cost $$$$$$.

"BBQ (I already have “Thrill of the Grill” and “License to Grill”)"

AllenOK, I recently got two great ones. "How To Grill" by Steven Raichlen, and "Grilling America" by Rick Browne. I bought them to give away as presents, but have decided to keep them.

Any cookbook added to my growing collection is GREAT. I also have two James Patterson books that I NEED.
