I like some of Paul's books, too. Probably because if you actually
read the book, IF you can get over his ego, he is a very talented cook
that seems to improvise quite a bit. He isn't restrained by hard,
fast rules.
I have this one, and with some good recipes, it is also a very amusing
read. The guy just loves barbecue and the whole culture of the 'que
and competition.
"Peace, Love, & Barbecue: Recipes, Secrets, Tall Tales, and Outright
Lies from the Legends of Barbecue" by Mike Mills
You can find it for about $15 at Amazon, and cheaper still in the
second hand stores. As much as I like some of the bbq books out
there, I haven't ever had to pay full price for any of them.
