Somebody put a link to it on the recipe thread. I'm too lazy to do it myself.

Oh nice - I love Cooks Illustrated.

I turned on my wireless and it didn't download. Checked my Manage My Kindle page and the book order still says "Processing".

It took a few minutes to download.......its a pretty good size book.

Is it any good, if one already pretty much knows how to cook, and isn't likely to try crepes or anything high-falutin and fancy?

Since its free, try it for yourself.

What ou might think of as 'good', I might think of as "OH MY GOD ARE YOU KIDDING ME???"

The solution is to go back and replace the broken linky with a working linky (IMHO).

And did I do that to your satisfaction?

RickyMaveety · 03-10-2009, 09:28 PM

Well, that's odd .... you can pre-order it for nothing, but not actually buy it for nothing??

Not what usually happens.

How is the pre-order supposed to work and how are the rest of you getting the download??
