Being after midnight where we live it is now My wife's and my 20th wedding anniversary. Went out had a nice dinner then stoped off to visist our son and sooner or later to be daughter-in-law. We had a nice visit then came home.
When we were home my wife got pretty secretive and snuck off to the bedroom saying for me to stay in the living room . I thought I might get her with a bow and no wrapper if you know what I mean. However to my surpise she handed me a gift bag (Her still fully clothed) with three books in it. They are as follows.
1) The Homebrewer's Recipe Guide by, Patrick Higgins, Maura Kate Kilgore, & Paul Hertlein.
2) Homebrew Favorites by Karl F. Lutzen & Mark Stevens.
3) North American Clone Brews by, Scott R. Russell
I don't know a whole lot about these books. The most I've heard about is the last, North American Clone Brews and most of that was complaints about errors that I can't remember.
Are any of you familiar with these books? What is the general consensus of their value as sources of solid recipes? Any and all input will be valued and appreciated. Don't worry that I may take a comment the wrong way. I won't be insulted or feel less happy about the gift. To have her even put forth the effort to give me something I would like or be interested in is the big prize.
