Last year, approximately 60 million cookbooks were sold in the United States. The majority of them were sold at book fairs, at large bookstore chains, through mail order book clubs, and over the internet from sites like eBay or Half.com. Some cooks just can't wait for their cookbooks to arrive in the mail, so they download them instead. You can now get an electronic copy of the latest cookbook as soon as it's released. Electronic books, which are also known as ebooks, can be read or printed with a computer. Because it doesn't go through the typical printing process, an ebook is generally cheaper than its paperbound counterparts. If you prefer traditional cookbooks, you can still shop secondhand to get good deals. It's also a good way to find collector's editions or cookbooks that are out of print. Some of the more popular cookbooks that we see selling are the Southern Living Cookbook, South Beach Diet, Williams Sonoma Cookbook, and Gourmet's yearly cookbook. Many people are into Tastefully Simple products and recipes.
