[QUOTE=GA Russell;3835799]Weber's Big Book of Burgers - $1.99
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AFE7FJ4[/QUOTE

Weber is a grill manufacturer. It looks like they would give away this book, as a way to increase their sales, retain customers, etc. And, after all, this is an ebook; I know that there are expenses in creating ebooks, but they are nothing like that for dead-tree books.

I don't remember grill manufacturers, specifically, doing this, but I run across books in thrift stores, used book sales, etc. (yes, I still buy (cheap) dead-tree books. I'm so ashamed. . I'm getting therapy to help me get over the addiction. Please have patience with me, as I recover. ). that are from manufacturers of other cooking stuff, and appear to have been included with whatever cooking things that people bought.

Now if the books were by Steven Raichlen, or somebody like him, that would be a different matter.

FYI--the book is priced at $21.95, book if purchased directly from Weber, for a soft cover (it appears that that is the only format that the book is available in on the Site).

I've been so negative in this post . . . but here's something positive: the book is rated 4.6(104) stars at Amazon (I didn't see any point, with that great rating, of checking at GoodReads or elsewhere).
