The big markdown was to $3.99. Apparently some time today, Amazon dropped the price, again, to $3.03 (a price match of a competitor?). The total markdown now is a sweet (no pun intended) 88%.

Although the book has a 4-star overall rating, please read the 1-, 2-, and 3-star reviews before deciding to purchase. There is a common complaint about the book. I don't know if it applies to the Kindle version (I probably didn't read enough to find out).

You've got to see the photo of the cake on the front cover. It's like a work of art.

Bake It Like You Mean It: Gorgeous Cakes from Inside Out. By Gesine Bullock-Prado. Rated 4 stars, from 98 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $24.99; digital list price $24.99; Kindle price $3.03. Stewart, Tabori & Chang, publisher. 252 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Bake-Like-You-...rom+Inside+Out.

Book Description
Gesine Bullock-Prado says it’s what’s inside that really counts, and in this visually sumptuous book, the author of Sugar Baby and Pie It Forward showcases cakes that are beautiful from the inside out. Each chapter is devoted to a technique of making different types of cake, beginning with the easiest recipe and moving to more technically difficult as the chapters progress. When the cakes are cut, they will reveal intricate layers of patterns and designs—such as hearts, checkerboards, helixes, and colorful stripes—that will bring a smile to everyone who enjoys them. This compendium of gorgeous cake recipes and techniques will yield glorious meringues, sponge cakes, pound cakes, cheesecakes, and tarts for all levels of bakers. With her trademark wit and enthusiasm for the world of confections and baking, Bullock-Prado’s latest book will delight her fans.

Sure, this is a cookbook! What do you think those bees are doing in that hive all of the time? That's right, cooking this stuff.

The markdown? It's 85% of digital list. Sweet.

The Honey Connoisseur: Selecting, Tasting, and Pairing Honey, With a Guide to More Than 30 Varietals. By C. Marina Marchese; Kim Flottum. Rated 4 1/2 stars, from 13 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $26.95; digital list price $12.99; Kindle price now $1.99. Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, publisher. 208 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Honey-Connoiss...n+30+Varietals.

Book Description
From honey experts C. Marina Marchese and Kim Flottum comes this comprehensive introduction to the origin, flavor, and culinary uses of more than 30 varietals of honey, from ubiquitous clover to tangy star thistle to rich, smoky buckwheat

Like wine, cheese, coffee, and chocolate, honey has emerged as an artisanal obsession. Its popularity at farmers' markets and specialty food stores has soared as retailers are capitalizing on the trend. The Honey Connoisseur teaches consumers everything they need to know about how to taste, select, and use a diverse selection of honey.

After a brief explanation of how bees produce honey, the authors introduce the concept of terroir, the notion that soil, weather, and other natural phenomena can affect the taste of honey. As with wines, knowing the terroir of a honey varietal helps to inform an understanding of its flavor.

The book goes on to give a thorough course in the origins of more than 30 different honeys as well as step-by-step instructions, how to taste honey, describe its flavor and determine what other flavors pair best with a particular honey. Also included are simple recipes such as dressings, marinades, quick-and-easy desserts, and beverages.

Beautifully illustrated and designed, The Honey Connoisseur is the perfect book for foodies and locavores alike.

Interesting. When I checked the landing page, it matched the email. Unfortunately, it didn't match what the dropbox folders wanted, at that point.

It looks like Amazon made two markdowns on this ebook, as it did on one that I posted yesterday. This one apparently started out being marked down to $2.99, then it was marked down to $2.51 sometime in the day today (Saturday). Again, I wonder if it is a competitor price match; if so, it appears that Amazon is being much more aggressive about it than it used to be.

Delights and Prejudices. By James Beard. Rated 4 1/2 stars, but from only 9 reviews at the present moment at Amazon; it is rated 3.88 from 84 ratings at GoodReads. Print list price N/A; digital list price $14.99; Kindle price now $2.51. Open Road Media, publisher. 250 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Delights-Preju...+and+prejudice.

Book Description
A richly evocative memoir from the man whom the New York Times dubbed the “dean of American cookery,” recalling the flavors of his past

In this delightful culinary journey, James Beard takes us back to the earliest days of his childhood when he started developing his precocious palate and lifelong “taste memories”—the ability to savor and remember the tastes and sensations of food. His enthusiasm for flavors, no matter how bold, would define Beard for the rest of his life.

From devouring a raw onion as an infant to scouring the globe in search of local flavors as an adult, Delights and Prejudices is full of witty and illuminating stories that open a door into the world of one of America’s first and perhaps greatest epicures.

Packed with more than one hundred fifty recipes, including corn chili soufflé, fried oysters, and peach preserves, this very personal account of his life is as close to an autobiography as Beard ever penned. For those who love to cook or simply love to eat, there remains no better teacher than James Beard.
